I just did probably the most pathetic thing ever witnessed by mankind. So I set up two profiles in a telegram dating up and liked one of my profiles with the other one as a joke.

Few minutes later, I see someone liked one of my profiles and get super excited. I look and become extremely disappointed by the fact that it was just me. I still hearted back because why not.

Few minutes later I kid you not I see "you have matched with someone! Click to see ;)" and genuinely jump in excitement only to be disappointed again by seeing that it was me.

Fucking pathetic omg.

This is a bit of a case of misplaced blame imo. It's kind of like blaming Linux for being a bad operating system because a program doesn't work with it. ;p

But don't you think that it's a huge upgrade from the X problem of being stuck with a single implementation? Part of the point is that by allowing different implementations to be easily made, it makes ground for a single good base implementation that may be used.

For example, as you said, wlroots. There are also things like the river compositor which separate the window manager and compositor into different programs. Sure, we still don't have THE ONE piece of infrastructure or the definitive implementation, but the multitude of options for compositors we have is a feature, not a bug

Hey, this instance is going to be deleted soon and I'm trying to get it to the federate with as many servers as possible for benchmarking reasons. So this is your only chance to boost this post and interact with the instance before it is gone forever, one-time offer

the whole point of wayland is that every compositor is different, so bugs are most of the time not a protocol issue but a compositor one. it could also be that your drivers just don't have proper support. Otherwise you're kind of just blaming a standard for issues in the implementation you're using. :p kind of like if i said "http sucks because chrome is laggy"

yeah lol its so unfair when people compare X ram usage to Wayland without a compositor like yeah sure things are lighter when theres no program to actually mediate all of the draws but it's also genuinely terrible in every possible way

I also ACTUALLY began contributing to a wayland compositor and i gained a somewhat firm understanding of how wayland works and I can 100% confirm it's a pretty ideal solution to the display server issue

fun X11 fact did you know it has three clipboards, that the third is called "SECONDARY" and isn't used; and that there are also eight unused clipboards for no reason

@OpenComputeDesign I main a Wayland compositor, it's easier on resources than any other X (with compositor) setup I've tried before, smoother and I haven't had any compatibility issues. I also have no XWayland
