| Am I the only one who's not buying into the Wayland hype? I just want X11 support not to fall into disrepair, as I see nothing wrong with it. |

| I don’t see much Wayland hype. It’s boring plumbing for most people, isn’t it? Most of us are just going along with whatever the volunteer plumbing community decided to put together. |

Do note that I've never tried to croudfund a programmer, but that's something that I have to believe is possible to do. [0] <https://github.com/X11Libre/xserver?tab=readme-ov-file#i-wan...> |

| ▲ | superkuh 7 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | Are you willing to write accessibility support for the new xfce only wayland compositor? How will you get every other wayland compositor to support your non-'wayland core' accessibility extension? People like to frame things like the waylands are some sort of default and nothing is being lost and no one is being excluded. |

| Some cognitive dissonance going on here. The vast majority of current Linux Desktop users are on Wayland, and X11 is phased out across the board. Calling it hype is absurd. |

| Yes, you are the only one in the entire world who hasn't fallen for it. Well done. |
