Now we’re at the point where wayland is becoming the only option, while there are still some things that don’t work well, like showing up a modal, opening a context menu in a window that wasn’t in focus, copy/pasting from non foreground UI applications… All this under KDE, which is somewhat large in terms of good DE.
I understand the argument that if we have to move, we have to start the move at some point. But I’m not sure we have to move. People keep telling X is a messy dangerous unmaintained eldritch horror sucking on your souls every seconds, but as a user, if moving back to X fixes all the tiny weird issues and shows no obvious downside, it’s hard to justify the switch.
Yeah, wayland good, etc etc.
