We'll stop using it soon.

Xorg and GNU are the reasons I'm not using Linux.

>>59109613
Unix philosophy for me.
And no stable ABI maybe.

>>59109810
Those are also good reasons.

>>59109349
It just werks

Because zero drive from users to move on to something else. You might be using your computer for watching things and ricing desktop but there is a large userbase who just connect to a server to run engineering software on Linux.

Connecting to a remote desktop environment depends on X, the software that runs depend on X, X forwarding depends on X. It's just something that is very hard to replace with questionable benefits for the type of users I described.

What Wayland does is more logical and better I think. It's just that adoption will be really slow.

>vaporwave
You're throwing that word like you know the meaning of it.

Why?


There's no point in moving to Wayland before it gets all the features of X, desktop environments of X and application support of the most used and popular graphical linux applications.

i dont know.now you tell me why mac os still uses this piece of shit too?

>>59109349
xorg is the reason I use gnu/linux.
I wouldn't mind using it for another decade while wayland matures.

>>59110872
macOS doesn't use X11 at its core or for most applications. It just exists as a compatibility layer for outdated software.

>adoption is slow
Yes.
The problem is wayland has changed how things are done.
X had a lot of crucial tools that went beyond the scope of window managers, but now it seems like wayland is solely a window manager issue.
