⌛ Wayland set the Linux Desktop back by 10 years // Omar Roth

｢ Wayland has been a broad misdirection and misallocation of time and developer resources at the expense of users. With more migration from other operating systems, the pressure to fix fundamental problems has become more prominent ｣

@jbz 100% this. I am glad people want to develop shiny new things and I don't want to gainsay that. But I am tired of the Wayland boosterism. I don't even want a compositor. I would like to continue with the 1990s 2D desktop paradigm until someone comes up with a compelling advance; that will almost certainly be a full 3D environment. We still seem an awful long way from that and I'd appreciate if they didn't spend the intervening time beeaking all the existing, working applications.
