Good news! For the first time, #Linux desktop breaks through 5% share in USA OS market as per Statcounter gs.statcounter.com/os-market-s…
Oh, absolutely, Microsoft, please, by all means, continue with your grand experiments like Recall Spyware, deleting email accounts in far-flung corners of the globe or stealing data for AI training. Rest assured, these brilliant strategies will have absolutely no bearing on Win11 desktop adoption. None whatsoever. We thank you from Linux HQ. Lmao.

Perhaps in your experience. Wayland is working great for me. I haven't used X11 is quite a while now. X11 is ancient, and most people should stop using it.

Wayland started with far fewer issues than X11 did. When I first started using Linux, X11 issues were the majority of my problems, and I spent untold hours solving them. I guess some people don't remember that or weren't around at the time.
There are a few very vocal detractors, but there are always those people any time systems change. They can mostly be ignored.
Also, I'm not claiming that nobody should use X11. It's very possible there are edge cases where it's the only option.

in reply to Bruce Heerssen • • •Yeah, there are a few apps that will never work on it because Wayland is not a replacement for X11.
They really should have debloated/Optimize X11 instead of going to Wayland.....X11 is tried and true and just works. One man, Xlibre, is going to do that

Well, good luck to him, then. But he's fighting a losing battle. Also, he appears to be a bigot and a nazi-sympathizer and I want nothing to do with him or his project.

in reply to Bruce Heerssen • • •at this point I would use code written by a professional animal torturer before I would use wayland. if you think it's ready to be forced on people and have the working alternative taken away then you're the bad guy.

in reply to verita84 • • •Watch, what'll probably happen is X11 will stop being supported (at all) and everyone will be forced onto Wayland, and then a few years later everyone starts to realize it's basically the BTRFS of window managers, 85% there, always has been, always will be.
Then the big scramble comes, smaller more grass roots distros switch to XLibre, big corporate ones hold out and remain swamped in bugs.
Linux desktop experience remains not-that-bad but only if you do NOT install Ubuntu.

Funnily enough, my phone identifies as a linux desktop, so it evens out :^D
