Quite the unpopular opinion, but I just wanted to post this to show the silent majority that we still exist. We have reached a point where voicing criticism against wayland is treated like the worst thing ever and leads you to being censored and what not. The red hat funded multi year long shill campaign has proven to be quite successful. Now do the same for immutable distros and every new buzzword that restricts your ability to make changes to your system and the long term plan of completely sabotaging the linux desktop will finally come true. That is all.

    Sabotage linux desktop?

    It's exactly due to immutability that Linux is reaching even more people. An example is SteamOS, an immutable distro.

    Common user doesn't wanna know if he's using X11 or Wayland, or if your distro is immutable or not. He wanna knows if the distro works and if he can do their stuff. And that's the exactly reason why Windows is the best alternative for them.

    Not everyone is tech-savy to care about the engines that make an os work or to tweak every aspect of the system. Actually this is minority.

    Off course your disapointment and contempt with Wayland and immutable distros is legit. I'm not arguing against it. You have your reasons and respect it. But please, don't jump to conclusions like "it will sabottage linux desktop" with no evidence.
