Gregory's Server@davidgerard hmm, I wasn't aware that Wayland was made by the same people that made X11, interesting if true.

 @foreverandaday X11 basically is on emergency life support only now. Red Hat was the last paying developer and they consider it utterly legacy except XWayland.  @davidgerard @foreverandaday Not much of a marketer, are you? X11R7.7 is STABLE. SOLID. DONE. COMPLETE.  @grumpybozo @davidgerard I don't think they were saying X11 is bad, just that it's old and that it's worth it for development teams to flesh out a newer standard so that it's ready to adopt by the time that user's needs differ to the point that the old system doesn't meet them anymore. There's a reason why a lot of distros use X11, just like there's reasons why users would prefer a switch to Wayland in the future. |
@foreverandaday oh yeah - Høgsberg, Jackson, Stone, they'd just spent five years in the Xorg mines and they weren't happy
