Isn't it great how we just keep reinventing the same old wheel over and over and over again?

A light weight, minimal window manager for Wayland! How nice! We already had a hundred of those for X11.

This is not a window manager, so thanks for stating the obvious. You might not like wayland and that's fine with me, but if you decide to hate on it, you should at least know what you are hating on. There are good reasons to prefer a wayland compositor over X11. If you don't care about these reasons, that doesn't mean nobody should.

Wayland got rid of screen tearing, an issue that plagued every machine I had used with X since I started using Linux in 2003/2004. That alone was enough for me to switch to sway in 2016, and I've never looked back. Xorg was nothing but headaches. Let's not even mention its security model.

Screen tearing is due to single buffering. Double buffering fixes that. It's easily enabled. This is basic stuff.

Now thanks to Wayland you have increased latency on top of the screen tearing "fix." Plus all the other Wayland irritations and problems that we've been hearing about for decades (plural) even as we're told the whole time X11 is obsolete. lol.

Damn it feels good not being a 24/7/365 alpha tester of other people's shitware.

Enjoy reinventing the wheel, badly, over and over again.

		I prefer X11 as well, but it has some security issues. Notably, all applications can read your input at any time. It's really hard to sandbox. Wayland brought some irritations, including increased latency, and an architecture that requires rethinking all window managers. A rewrite is not enough. Very annoying.
