No, I Don't Want Your Latest XYZ, ThankYouVeryMuch...
Oh, so Wayland is finally ready?
Great!
I thought it was ready last year.
And last year I thought it was ready in 2023.
Dang!
Phoronix told me it was ready in 2020.
Goddamn!
Phoronix has always been telling me (for a decade already) that X was dead or dying.
Oh, wait.
Really?
It's still being developed?
Can I use it?
Nice one.
That still works for me:
roy@vonick:~$ uptime 09:23:48 up 625 days, 15:08, 37 users, load average: 0.52, 0.60, 0.72
But Wayland would also run OK for almost 2 years, right?
Oh.
Wait, it also lacks support for X tools, right?
roy@vonick:~$ x Display all 153 possibilities? (y or n)
OK, so I cannot use Wayland. It does not support many things that I use all the time. I need a system I can rely on, I am not a tinkerer.
But it's new, you say... right?
Wayland started in.
Wait a second.
It started in 2008.
So...
Let me put it like this...
Why is it still barely adopted?
Is there something wrong with Wayland?
Maybe X just works OK for most people. It is secure enough for OpenBSD.
We'll stay with X then.
Wait, are you saying people who insist on still using X are nazis? (Like IBM)
Oh, I see... █
