    Let Wayland not destroy everything and then have other people fix the damage it caused.

    Here I stopped reading. This can’t be more then a salty bullshit post with nothing than unfair assumptions.

      The only one that really might have some merit is the argument about portability.

        Small communities have a hard time staying up to date. X11 was ported decades ago, when non Linux OSes had more mind share and commercial backing. I doubt anyone could port X11 if that was the new thing mainly developed on Linux today.

      My favorite part is where he admits to being mad without even knowing what Wayland is.

      Edit: When I wrote the above, I didn’t really realize what Wayland even was, I just noticed that some distributions (like Fedora) started pushing it onto me and things didn’t work properly there.

        You seem to use the word censor a lot. For someone who who clearly has no idea what freedom of speech means.

        Let me give you a clue. Your freedom of speech in no way forces others to provide you with a platform. Just governments not to silence you. Private citizens running web sites are not governments. So have no obligation to support your ideals.

        When private community moderators do not want to deal with the opinions you push. They are not removing anything from you. You are failing to sell your ideals in a way that appeals to the people you are trying to force your ideas upon.

        If you want to communicate with no limits. Host your own community on your own instance. And hope you do not piss off enough people to be de federated.

      Why would i advertise windows if i’m defending x11 you fucking retard. People who spread fud about x11 and blindly advocate for wayland are the ones who want to sabotage linux and make it unusable.

        Oh, you’re conservative, that makes sense. You just want the things to stay the way they are. I mean, it’s the opposite of progress, but there are a lot of people like this.

        People who spread fud about x11

        Who does that? X11 is ancient. It’s a known variable in every possible way. How would you spread FUD about it?

        In reality the ones who advocate for Wayland the most are the people who used to thanklessly maintain X…

    Doesn’t it get tiring to create new accounts only to post the same stuff time and time again, only to get it downvoted, removed, and banned time and time again? What do you get out of it? Do you masturbate to the comment sections?

    This OUTDATED article gets posted all the time. The full story is the guy is a massive FreeBSD fan so he is trying to convince more people to keep on using Xorg because he wants to make sure it isn’t abandoned. Reason for that being that Wayland is built with Linux in mind and would not work under FreeBSD without a lot of effort bwing put in as it uses some Linux-specific components or libraries.

    Edit: Decided to write a response because I’m tired of this ancient and incorrect article being reposted. Please read it, correct any mistakes in the comments, etc. Thank you.

    Boycott you instead, dinosaur.

    Isn’t Linux about freedom? Fucking pick a distro that uses X11 you like and keep X11, or build your own or some crap like that.

          Still not a reason to ban anyone. They openly censor opposing opinions and you are literally advocating this.

            Removing dump stuff to keep a community relevant, on topic and with a good signal to noise ratio is not censorship. Claiming so is just dumb.

              What I post is relevant and on-topic and you have outed yourself as an actual paid shill. I’ll give you a tip, don’t advocate for censorship so openly. Even if you do, there are discreet ways to do so.

                Censorship is about you being limited in the actions you can take to express yourself. It is not about cushioning you from the consequences of those actions from the people around you.

                You obviously were allowed to take action: The contents was apparent upon on a forum and here as well. People reacted to your actions: Admins removed your contents and blocked you and I am telling you that your understanding of wayland as well as politics is limited.

                Deal with it.

    Yes, wayland by design does not let random applications grab events intended for other applications nor does it let random applications take screenshots at any point in time showing other applications screens. This requires applications to do screen sharing differently, and it indeed breaks random applications sending events to random other applications. That is basically all you wail about and an absolutely necessary property of any sensible system and it is very embarrassing that it took so long to get this.

    Isn’t it weird what people get worked up about?
    Just keep using X11 with twm, SysV init, LILO and Alsa on your 32bit BIOS IBM Thinkpad.
    It all still works, and YOU can keep it maintained yourself, that’s the beauty of FOSS.

    what’s up with this? I see this school of thought bandied around quite a bit recently. wayland… it’s a protocol. do they hate tcp/ip too? can they boycott that instead?

    This gets posted like once per week and this is inaccurate as shit.

    “Wayland is bad, it can’t run xorg programs”

    Ok but there is an exact copy of the program that is made for Wayland. It’s the same argument that Windows users use to discredit Linux .

    “Linux is bad because it can’t run programs that were made for Windows”
