> Wayland sucks, and not in a "deep down it's a mess" sense, it sucks in the sense that it breaks my shit, way up here on the surface: things I do will no longer work. I don't like X, but X does the things I want it to do.
That's the point. For me Wayland does things — the whole story behind me switching to Wayland on some of my computers had been something like me noticing horrible tearing when scrolling pages in Firefox. And I've been thinking to myself: "Hey, this isn't a 20 year old ThinkPad, this shouldn't be like that",— so I went looking online how to solve this shit and I came across the whole Wayland thing and every frame being perfect, and as I've been on dwm, I started looking something similar and found Sway — it took some time to configure everything the way I like, but since then I just worked. Some things got different, but no tearing.
> "Wayland is newer and thus inevitable" is the worst possible way to think of it
But for me it's nothing of this sort — I didn't go Wayland because some article online claimed that it's great, I also didn't do it because my distro switched to it — nothing of the sort. My distro was and is Void nearly universally, Wayland solved the only problem for me that is was supposed to solve — that's why I kept it, no other reason. Nothing about it being inevitable, the next big thing, I didn't even know how much it's being despised until I arrived on Fedi, I didn't know who Drew DeVault is. It just got shit done for me — that's it, no ideology bits.

Oh, fuck, it IS a different thread! :marseyshock:
I went to bed when that OS/2-tracksuit thread was still current and when I woke up, you kept going in this one, and I didn't have a slightest idea that it's a different one. I've been fairly confident that it's just a topic switch — the usual. :marseylaughwith:
Well then, sorry for offtopic :marseywink:
