People who just complain and stay in some deprecated tech (instead of reporting bugs and working with the new way) will have a rude awakening when it’s just no longer supported.
I’m not saying everyone should be a early adopter, but this timeline was more than forgiving. People who did nothing but keep using the X11 GNOME session might run into Wayland session bugs now that they could have reported years ago.
Some may have bugs that fully break the session, and reporting bugs comes with a new problem: if you do, odds are someone will dismiss it, and/or tell you to fix it yourself.
Hmm, especially GNOME devs are definitely very opinionated, but “running a Wayland session on halfway-contemporary hardware” is definitely something all DE devs want to support.
So if you give them workable information, you won’t be dismissed.
