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.
The problem with trying to ignore Wayland is that Xorg is abandonware.
Of all the social injustices in the world that you could devote time and resources into, you’ve decided the best one is “Some Linux systems use a different program to draw graphics”…
Like, just use a distro that uses XOrg if you still need it. Then feel betrayed 3 years down the line when they switch over to Wayland without you noticing.
Wayland is freedom restricting, in that way I’m actually fighting social injustices
You must be delusional. Wayland is not freedom restricting.
why do you dislike it though?
Freedom restricting corpo funded garbage
genuinely asking how does it restrict your freedom?
Apps have to rewrite code for every compositor. This is intentionally shitty design.
it’s completely ok to not like or even hate wayland but this ain’t it. i don’t know if that’s true, but even if wayland is so shit that every compositor needs a separate compatibility patch i still don’t see how that’s restricting your freedom or app developers’ freedom or any kind of freedom. if it’s so cumbersome to support wayland then devs won’t support it and people won’t use it. no one is forcing anyone to do anything no one is ruling through software even if apps drop xorg in a free software environment people can pay developers to keep maintaining for xorg.
How is it restricting freedom? It gives you the choice, if you want to use it cool, if you don’t don’t. Its not like anyone is forcing you to use it.
The last thing you want is for people to fall for the shill campaign and start developing wayland exclusive apps
Okay, so what do you dislike about wayland from a technical standpoint? Or is it just the creator that you personally don’t like?
Wayland has it’s fair share of problems that haven’t been solved yet, but most of those points are nonsense.
If that person lived a little over a hundred years ago and wrote a rant about cars vs horses instead, it’d go something like this:
Think twice before abandoning Horses. Cars break everything!
Cars break if you stuff hay in the fuel tank!
Cars are incompatible with horse shoes!
You can’t shove your dick in a car’s mouth!The rant you’re linking makes about as much sense.
Is wayland the horse here. That would make sense. Xorg would be the car since it is objectively better and actually works. The only “benefits” of wayland would be similar to saying horses are better since they don’t contribute to global warming.
Dude - you’re either stupid enough to not realise the irony of what you’ve just said, or you’re trolling. For your sake, I kinda hope it’s the latter
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.
This was literally posted like two days ago, the cope is real
5 days ago actually. But the jannies who are red hat employees removed it. Its sad they infiltrate not only reddit but now lemmy.

I recognize my inability to contribute. What I do understand is if red hat truly cared a tiny bit about desktop linux they would have intervened in the 18 year history of wayland. They’re either afraid of acknowledging the fact that 18 years went down the drain or they are doing it on purpose. Mostly the latter.

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
You posted this exact post before.
hurr durr
Really?
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?
The only thing pathetic here is you. You’d realise that if you weren’t such a whiney bitch. If you don’t want to use Wayland, just don’t use it. No one’s shoving it down your throat. But no need to whine like a bitch.
Your attitude and constant insults are much worse.
Is that so? Well, then I am sorry for slightly insulting someone who’s been spamming hate posts, throwing ridiculous allegations like Wayland goal apparently being sabotaging Linux, spreading various misinformations, calling everyone a shill, etc. I should’ve hugged him instead. My bad. I apologize.
