      I don’t think anyone is an X11 fan boy. We all know Wayland is the future. I would be using it if it worked on my machine.

          X11 development is dead so it really is just a matter of time before Wayland is the norm and you’ll be saying stuff like “back in my days we used X11 and we liked it!”

          Wayland is already the present for most Linux users.

          Shit, it’s been enabled by default on Debian since 2019. Debian. The famously slow-moving distro.

              You could also list a bunch of insane stuff about X11. The security being hilariously bad, random tearing all the time, terrible multi-monitor support, terrible gesture support, etc.

              X11 lacks basic functionality.

                  Of course it matters. Maybe you didn’t know, but Wayland doesn’t exist in a vacuum, X11 is the other choice. How could you possibly think it doesn’t matter lmao

                  Most distros are already Wayland and have been for a while.
