Wayland has no business in Ubuntu to begin with. Its proper place is the trash bin.

Have been using GS-Wayland for years know and IMO we are very close to feature parity (and in more and more areas even better, e.g. HIDPI with fractional scaling).
And the feature I'm looking for the most is the security benefit. Ubuntu doesn't seem to be that interested in Flatpak anyways, but proper app isolation like on adroid/iOS is simply not possible with X11 (and no, starting an own X11 server for every app, breaking even the clipboard, is no viable solution)

New and fancy freesync support works with xorg only. No, wayland still far from production state.

I still have two major pain points: file drag and drop doesn't work in Nautilus, screensaver (a.k.a. turn off your display after 3 min in GNOME) doesn't work as well; I just have a black screen with the cursor still shown, the display is never turned off.
IMO these two features are pretty important in a desktop environment.

Originally posted by bug77 View PostI just looked up some dates: this time next year Wayland will be 11. That's about half the age at which X was when Wayland set to displace it because it was old and unwieldy.
This just proves I was right back then when I said it won't be easy to displace such an entrenched solution. People booed me at the time.
Wayland was a 1-man hobby project for years, it certainly wasn't being taken seriously by anyone for that time. Also, X is at least 35 years old - 11 vs 35 isn't really "half".
I'm sure people on here did boo you, but that's because people are idiots. Anyone who seriously looked at it knew that it was going to take a long time to move away from X - that's precisely why it had never happened before and most people were resigned to it never happening, ever, before Wayland finally started picking up steam.Last edited by smitty3268; 25 March 2019, 03:17 PM.

Mir might actually have worked, as opposed to Wayland which is fast losing escape velocity and is starting to look like OS/2.
