Quite the unpopular opinion, but I just wanted to post this to show the silent majority that we still exist. We have reached a point where voicing criticism against wayland is treated like the worst thing ever and leads you to being censored and what not. The red hat funded multi year long shill campaign has proven to be quite successful. Now do the same for immutable distros and every new buzzword that restricts your ability to make changes to your system and the long term plan of completely sabotaging the linux desktop will finally come true. That is all.
why do you dislike it though?
Apps have to rewrite code for every compositor. This is intentionally shitty design.
Don’t use any Linux distro that has non-super users, that is a distro that restricts your ability to make changes on your system…
If you want a truly unrestricted OS experience, go daily drive TempleOS.
That actually would be nice, since you wouldn’t be able to connect to the internet anymore and we wouldn’t have to hear your pissing and moaning.
You seethe and rage against the ocean because it continues to make waves lol.
Sabotage linux desktop?
It’s exactly due to immutability that Linux is reaching even more people. An example is SteamOS, an immutable distro.
Common user doesn’t wanna know if he’s using X11 or Wayland, or if your distro is immutable or not. He wanna knows if the distro works and if he can do their stuff. And that’s the exactly reason why Windows is the best alternative for them.
Not everyone is tech-savy to care about the engines that make an os work or to tweak every aspect of the system. Actually this is minority.
Off course your disapointment and contempt with Wayland and immutable distros is legit. I’m not arguing against it. You have your reasons and respect it. But please, don’t jump to conclusions like “it will sabottage linux desktop” with no evidence.
Did you just create this account just to spew your hatred of Wayland without any explanations as to why? Get a life lmao. You’re just a moron with an irrational hatred for change.
>hurr durr let me look at his post history to find material to bitch about
>nothing? heh at least let me point that out for muh updoots
Pathetic
The paid moderators keep deleting my posts just becuase of slighly criticising red hat. What do you want me to do? Expect replies from a deleted post?
I actually agree. Wayland is good on new AMD hardware with high refresh rate triple monitor setups. But on common non-gaming hardware it’s just a disadvantage, especially in terms of accessibility (yes I know it’s improving now but it’s still far from X11). If you’re an advanced Linux user, Wayland is a good thing. But if you’re a regular person who uses the computer for office work and YouTube, it is not. The problem here is that the most popular distros (Ubuntu, Fedora, RHEL) enable it by default or completely remove X11 support. If you’re a gamer and you need Wayland’s features, you’re most likely advanced enough to use it but there are limitations and bugs that regular users will not want to deal with and/or fix using terminal commands. Wayland is probably the future but it is not the today. Making it the default makes Linux desktop a little bit more of a hacky tool for geeks than it was with X11+optional Wayland support. Oh and good luck using Wayland on NVidia 800 series and older
