| >I'm not some anti-wayland zealot but you will pry xfce out of my cold dead hands. Hard same. I'm using xfce on my laptop with mint xfce edition, and it's a breath of fresh air. Everything just works how you'd expect it to work, and it gets out of your way. I tried sway a couple years ago and I lost count of the number of things I needed to go and find wayland specific workarounds for. I know things have gotten better since then, but I didn't see any benefit to switching and a whole lot of hassle. |

| Xorg has had releases for years and will continue to do so. But as you can see in the announcement, enterprise users are the driving factor. |

| ▲ | nazgulsenpai 36 minutes ago | parent [-] | | Yeah, but they haven't added any features in years, from what I assumed to be a maintenance only/feature frozen stance in favor of Wayland, which is (primarily) why xlibre forked. |

| Even xfce will one day move to Wayland. |

| ▲ | wing-_-nuts 26 minutes ago | parent | next [-] | | With a project as user/dev hostile as wayland, it's much better to be a 'last mover' than first. For the life of me, I'll never understand how wayland got traction with the community. 'Hey guys, we decided to implement a display server from scratch! We broke a ton of existing functionality and made a ton of low level stuff that X used to handle the responsibility of WM/DE devs!' | | |
| ▲ | dralley a few seconds ago | parent | next [-] | | Wayland is not a "display server", it's a display protocol. A lot of the "existing functionality" that it broke has nothing to do with displays, it just happens to have been crammed into Xorg at some point. I find it quite funny that many of the same people that rag on systemd for doing too many things are big fans of Xorg. | |
