Who is the supposed agent mastermind singlehandedly developing Wayland and deprecating X11? You do realize there are multiple people working (having worked) on both in their free time and each have agency and their own incentives. Separate people have had enough of maintaining X, while another group of people enjoyed working on Wayland. Some indeed moved from one to another but there were no coordinated attempt at hijacking the Linux graphic stack or whatever.. | ||||||||||||||

So you tell us Freedesktop.org people 1. Claiming XFree86 evil 2. Forking it as X.org 3. Shortly after all distros finished switching to X.org, declaring it obsolete and announcing wayland 4. stopping any major development on X.org immediately even though it's was the one and only option at the time 5. and channeling all development resources (not only on the display server, but also downstream users like toolkits, DEs etc.) to rewrite their code for a protocol that wasn't even gonna be usable until a 10+ years later 6. Depraving Linux desktop users from 10-15 years of improvements and making Linux graphis stack stuck in 2000s wasn't hijacking the Linux graphic stack? I mean had Steve Balmer wanted to sabotage Linux in desktop he couldn't do better | ||||||||||||||
