    Wayland is already the present for most Linux users.

    Shit, it’s been enabled by default on Debian since 2019. Debian. The famously slow-moving distro.

        You could also list a bunch of insane stuff about X11. The security being hilariously bad, random tearing all the time, terrible multi-monitor support, terrible gesture support, etc.

        X11 lacks basic functionality.

            Of course it matters. Maybe you didn’t know, but Wayland doesn’t exist in a vacuum, X11 is the other choice. How could you possibly think it doesn’t matter lmao

            Most distros are already Wayland and have been for a while.

                You should care about issues in X11 because you’ll be facing them if you don’t use Wayland. This isn’t a difficult concept.

                    You’re the one that’s slow.

                    This isn’t an announcement they’re moving to Wayland, Wayland has been the default for years.

                    It’s not irrelevant. If you’re not using Wayland, you’re using X11. Keep up.

                    I don’t think I can dumb this down any further to help you understand.
