I don’t think anything defaulting to Wayland is guaranteed trash, but I also think there should be way more X11 pitchfork people. Or at least less hatred directed at them when they pop up.
“just get with the times it’s THE FUTURE and you’re not allowed to say no!” is… not cool. Especially when Wayland is unusable for anything outside of “the ordinary”, by design.
I don’t hate X11, but I do think it’s holding us back, so I get the sentiment that many people have. It’s also important to note that it’s human nature to dig our heels in and resist change, so you have to keep your own biases in check.
Wayland is technically more modern and secure, which is important. That said, X11 is still needed and I don’t think we should discount it yet.
I’m curious what “non-normal” things you’re referring to. I’ve found that Wayland and xwayland do everything I need them to and I have a few things I’d consider abnormal.
Every major DE defaults to Wayland now, bruv. You can give up the X11 pitchfork. Even holdouts like Cinnamon have added experimental support.
