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.
Apps have to rewrite code for every compositor. This is intentionally shitty design.
it's completely ok to not like or even hate wayland but this ain't it. i don't know if that's true, but even if wayland is so shit that every compositor needs a separate compatibility patch i still don't see how that's restricting your freedom or app developers' freedom or any kind of freedom. if it's so cumbersome to support wayland then devs won't support it and people won't use it. no one is forcing anyone to do anything no one is ruling through software even if apps drop xorg in a free software environment people can pay developers to keep maintaining for xorg.
