"I have an issue with wayland waaa its so bad"
pulls of the mask
Every. Single. Time.
Its far better to have compositing the actually works vs the borked shit xorg has. Forcing every desktop maker to share the terrible stagnant base that was xorg is not the linux way. You've chosen to use an opinionated desktop that doesnt have the features you want. These arent hard to implement, a child was able to implement all those features by themselves in a few years.
Lmao, I didn't choose gnome I'm forced to use it, Wayland sux balls. If you are talking about the buggy mess that is hyprland give me a break.
There was a lot of development happening around x server via extension to it, composite, xrandr, xrender. Stuff was being moved out of the x server and into the kernel. So what if, it was a heap of legacy, so is the Linux kernel. Shit worked and it worked good enough. The only thing that made it stagnant was forcing everyone to adopt Wayland, because of being afraid to be left behind.
Now canonical and red hat decides what should be part of the protocol, great isn't. They cant even have a broad consensus leaving everyone to guess how shit should implemented.
Features: x11 Performance: x11 Tooling: x11 User friendly: x11 Multiscreen support: Wayland (but they also fucked upp with limitations due the protocol decisions they made)
You arent forced to do anything and why the fuck would you think im talking about hyprland. Pretty sure your whole comment is just trolling and you dont believe a single thing you're saying.
