Wayland has been in the works for more than a decade. Granted, there’s some people having issues with it, with propietary hardware (nVidia) and not-so-common setups like two monitors, but it happens that they are the most noisy. For the rest of us it’s been great, stable, and feels snappier than X.
If you want to talk about shoehorning stuff into Debian, talk about systemd.
I assume “weird two-monitors setups” that are not so common, not two-monitor setups as a whole, as Wayland works perfectly with two monitors. It even works way better than X11 if your monitors are different, like if only one has VRR or if both monitors need different scaling.
Exactly my thoughts. What does this joker even mean? I regularly use 2-3 monitors, and have used four in certain roles. Almost everyone I know that really uses their machine has, at minimum, two screens.
the ONLY thing I can think of is sometimes, at least for me, on wayland it will switch the naming on my second monitor between either DP-1 or HDMI-A-1 randomly for whatever reason. bit of a very minor pain if I’m using a WM where I have to go in and edit the config to switch it but on KDE it’s not an issue. that’s literally the only thing I can think of.
Yeah that’s quite silly. Every single employee at my office is issued 2 monitors to go with their company laptop. People working from home get the monitors shipped to them. It’s the standard setup in tons of offices as well as for many home users.
Second that. The person just needs to pull a cable into a cheap second-hand screen he/she bought and it’s pretty much done, so I can’t see why it wouldn’t be common.
Explaining, changes happening too abruptly feel artificial. Wayland’s been around for a while, sure, but it was barely adopted and then a lot of people started insisting on it overnight.
There is this really strange perception amongst Wayland critics that it had low market share and nobody was using it.
The majority of Linux desktop users are on Wayland and we still have people posting that nobody is using it or even that it “doesn’t work”.
Wayland switched to the default in places where it was already popular and is becoming required in places where few are switching away from the default.
Uhm, what?
