It's a little sad seeing Enlightenment being dropped for inactivity, since they were one of the very first compositors to support Wayland natively. Then again, I've not heard much about Enlightenment at all in years.

When one of the numerous implementations of Wayland "just works" with Arch XFCE, and I don't have to sacrifice any functionality or software to use it, I'll give it a try. Until then I'm happy with X, as it works just fine.

You realise the onus is on XFCE to "just work" with Wayland?

Transient Seat Protocol.

Great. Standardization around anti-homeless seating. Like all the haters need another reason to dislike Wayland

Wayland is the reason I'm homeless

Actually Wayland was supposed to be a drop in replacement for X with XWayland bridging the gap. But instead everything has to be rewritten for whatever iteration of it is being used.

But that's fine, so long as there's X until some version of it becomes standard, and XWayland actually does bridge any gaps, I'm happy.

Whoever said that Wayland was supposed to be a drop in replacement? No one. XWayland is a compatibility layer for legacy applications, it was never designed to run desktop environments and window managers.

it should have been done this way.
