    I’ll switch to Wayland once it becomes the default in the distro I happen to be using that month. Not before.

    Perhaps X.org should sue Elon Musk over the whole X thing. Then when they win the lawsuit, use the money to build an even better X.org that rivals Wayland.

    Wayland is maintained by the same people who made X.org. If you like X.org maybe you could volunteer your time to do maintenance on it. No one wants to touch a dead codebase.

              Screen color calibration, no nvidia support (not their fault, but that doesn’t solve the problem, does it), HDR (KDE has it in beta, but no one else does)…

              I’m sorry, it’s an unfinished product (unlike, let’s say PipeWire, which is why it was quickly addopted). X.org devs went 180 regarding development of Wayland vs X.org. It had a bad foundation to begin with, not enough supported protocols… everything after that is just patching the obvious.

              They should have ditched Wayland 15 years ago and start from scratch when they saw how poor the standard was regarding protocols. If X.org was too big and heavy, Wayland went in the complete opposite direction. A middle ground should have been made, and adoption would have been quicker and more stable.
