    Sounds like a heap of crap. X.Org developers moved to Wayland, they were the ones who made it happen. Now, I wonder where this dude with his XOrg Forks and PhD and shit was during all that 15 years it took to conceptualize wayland.

    You all need a lesson in taking everything people say, including and most importantly their qualifications with a huge grain of salt.

    Wayland has been working perfectly for years now. Many of the supposedly "impossible to implement" functions of the old hunk of junk Xorg were either found to be bogus anyways or have been made available on Wayland.

    Sincerely-- Someone who's been using wayland since 2016

      Wayland has been working perfectly for years now.

      Not for every one. For example, I still get random black screens with only mouse trails, windows disappearing, and videos not playing properly. Why yes, I do have an Nvidia card, thank you for asking.

        After finally realizing nobody is interested in EGLstreams, Nvidia seems to be on track to make their drivers less of a disaster for Wayland support, so thankfully it is bound to become better

        I just want you to know, this isn't a failure on anything other than Nvidia trying to force their own crap on everyone and failing

      Very good point. Mr x11 expert maybe seems pissed he's gotta learn a new tech and refuses to, so will bash it and hope it goes away. But if they were an expert, they'd probably know the things you mentioned.
