considering that gnome just deprecated X11, i have a weird feeling that my life is about to get even harder and more painful, unless I choose to conform to one of the mainstream ideal linux GUIs
wayland will be the thing which finally kills all the small WMs that still remain. I consider that to be a cultural disaster.
@domi nah, I don't think it'll kill small compositors. The existing "meta" of X11 WMs will very likely die because it's a massive effort to detach a project like that from X11, but with libs like wlroots, swc or smithay the bar to clear is muuuch lower than reinventing the whole userspace display stack from scratch again.
If anything, X11 has to finally die for real instead of being kept on perpetual life support for those smaller WMs to kick off for real.
