      Seems they need some updates. OBS, Zoom and Xfce are all happy to work toward Wayland, and OBS/Zoom both work pretty well on it, so 🤷

      And no telling what else has changed since; checks notes; 2016?

          There really isn’t one. Wayland is maturing and app support is following.

          This is the way things always go in open source. I’m betting soon there will be a distro that will announce a never Wayland stance just like Devuan prior.

            It’s been working for a while unless I’m misunderstanding what you mean by screen capture. But I’ve been using OBS on KDE Wayland capturing via portals for months now with issues.

        concise list of criticisms
        “ramblings”

        This is why wheyland is destined to fail. The fact that criticisms can be dismissed as ramblings explains a lot of things.

          This is a rambling of how Wayland supposedly forces everybody to use GNOME, which is BS.

          The rant even includes an admission that the author didn’t even know what Wayland was when it was written.

      Please add more examples to the list.

      How about an example of Wayland forcing me to use GNOME like this rant alleges? I hate GNOME but have been using KDE with Wayland for like two years now.

        Same. Not to mention that there’s window managers in development if people prefer that. Some examples I know include Sway for those who want something like i3, Wayfire for those who miss Compiz and Hyprland for a more polished tiled experience. Hyprland in particular I’d recommend as I’ve personally had no luck with X.org compositors like Picom - didn’t work with my GPU.

      it’s weird how this gist was updated 3 hours ago but still contains lots of claims that haven’t been accurate for years

      The one that bother me the most about Wayland is the future of *BSD desktop. Can you run Wayland on NetBSD/FreeBSD yet? Also, currently you can run x server on Mac so you can run X11 apps remotely for example. Is there any attempt to make waypipe work on MacOS?
