Btrfs should've been Wayland

I think the problem with btrfs is that it entered the spotlight way to early. With Wayland there was time to work on a lot of the kinks before everyone started seriously switching.

On btrfs a bunch of people switched blindly and then lost data. This caused many to have a bad impression of btrfs. These days it is significantly better but because there was so much fear there is less attention paid to it and it is less widely used.

@Possibly linux I agree with you, it's not, but people here keep touting it as such and that is my issue. X-forwarding works great for me, I use it daily. I use it to access servers in my hosting service from my home office. I can fire up x2go if I need a remote console but most of the time a terminal and an app is quicker. I have no issues with lag, I'm sorry for those that do but it is just not a problem for me.

Do you use it over SSH?

Fam, my experience was one (1) (uno) year ago. And during those five years Wayland made zero progress by itself - it was everyone else who had to do the job of Wayland for free.

I think the main difference is that while a graphical session can work through some issurs, a file system is not allowed to fail under any circumstances. The bar is way higher and stability a lot more important.

Tell me you don't understand what "remote gui" means without telling me.

Yes, the release notes you linked do not mention Weston at all.

CTRL+F, "wayland", 1 of 3 matches

are you being deliberately obtuse or do you expect other people to do everything for you?

You said:

Not if you were using Ubuntu in 2017 when they switched to Weston as the default display server for 17.10 and lots of people suffered a great deal from how half-baked the project was at the time.

Unless you think Wayland is the same as Weston, I don’t see how you think I’m being “deliberately obtuse”.

I just think people who have issues with Wayland and btrfs are hitting bugs that developers can't trigger. It's an unfortunate situation but these people should work closer with developers to get them more info.

The situation sucks because Wayland and btrfs offer so many features but there's those few people who can't seem to get them to work reliably.
