minus-squarePseudoSpock@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkarrow-up25arrow-down3·4 months agoThat Wayland works for everybody.
minus-squarethegreenguy@sopuli.xyzlinkfedilinkarrow-up34arrow-down1·4 months agoYes, but “Wayland is trash and will never be better than X” is also misinformation.
minus-squaretheshatterstone54@feddit.uklinkfedilinkarrow-up9·edit-24 months agoAgreed. Both are true.
minus-squaremaniii@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2arrow-down2·4 months agoFor some of us, X11/Xorg is better , way way better than using Wayland. Linux means we should have a choice without sacrificing our freedom. So if I want to use X11/Xorg or Wayland, I SHOULD MAKE THAT DECISION. Looking at the garbage trash fire that is systemd. Only way I can get SysVInit back is if I use Slackware, Devuan , so a complete switch of distro and tools. No choice no freedom.
minus-squaredubyakay@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up1·edit-24 months agoDilettante here. How hard or easy is it to switch back and forth between X11 and Wayland?
minus-squaremaniii@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·4 months agoNo idea as I have Wayland disabled from install. Wayland packages based on distros are probably compatible with X11/Xorg packages installed side-by-side. Choose whichever suits your needs. If you like Wayland or X it will be your choice.

minus-squarevrighterlinkfedilinkarrow-up2arrow-down9·4 months agoI usually just ask them to back that assertion up by running “pacman -Rcs xwayland” (or their package manager’s equivalent). None have taken me up on my request, and they immediately switch to blaming the apps for it, even though some literally cannot be ported.
