Wayland Pains in Community-Led Distros of GNU/Linux
READING the various articles and original from Linux Mint, it seems like effort is now devoted not just to X11 but also Wayland. That makes maintenance harder, testing harder, and generally contributes to workload (e.g. bug reports for each, either, or both). Remember why Linux Mint turned down Snaps and intentionally made it difficult to add support for them.
Our position on Wayland remains the same. The only Wayland that sort of works has "X" in it, so in other words it's chaining the other and isn't getting rid of it. Wayland has been a lot like vapourware for over a decade already. Few people and companies use Wayland; there's hardly any technical or practical reason to choose it. Maybe in the future there will be. But we're not there.
Red Hat promotes "new" things, even when they're worsening things for users (overall). Wayland is another example of that. Raspberry Pi OS also blindly follows IBM, just like the distro it is derived from. █
