Hope they're gonna devote the development resources to making it actually work.

In what way does it not work?

Remote desktop support is buggy on gnome and nearly non-existant on other DE’s, which speaks to how poor a job wayland does at managing functions between DE’s, where each individual DE has to build their own solution for basic functions, further fragmenting development efforts.

Then there’s accessibility functions, which wayland breaks almost by design by denying apps access to each other. Even something as simple as an on screen keyboard becomes nearly impossible to implement.

Any software thats being pushed to users as the “main” experience, should not break things as common and fundemental as remote desktop or onscreen keyboards. Great way to drive away potential users switching from windows 10.

As someone who’s a week into trying to switch from Windows to Linux, I don’t even know what X11 or Wayland are. My biggest hurdle has been how the Linux community always just assumes everyone knows every little thing. This article is a perfect example. It would have taken a sentence or two to add “X11 does this, but is being phased out”.

I spent at least an hour today trying to connect to a shared network printer! As a geek, I love Linux but it’s still not ready for the masses. And that’s referring to Mint.
