With the many issues I still have running a wayland session on NVidia I am really confused by these recent moves of various projects and distros dropping X11 support.
There will be enough people asking this as a joke, but I am very serious. Is it actually time to move on from X11 for everyone?
I have been using linux since a couple months after Linus put the first bits of code on an ftp. I have been mainlining it since 1999 and it has been my entire career since 2009.
I have been through all the iterations. The svsV’s, the runits, the systemd’s. And while I don’t enjoy a ton of change I did get over it for all of these and still feel ‘at home’.
But for wayland? I have never even tried. I just see everyone saying you are fucked if you have X or Y hardware, or if you require A or B legacy workflows.
Is NOW really the time for old codgers to give it a serious go?
I’m not sure for all use cases, I can confidently say that if you depend on networking features of X or something like xrdp (Like me lol) then that’s going to be a solid NO
But if not, then maybe?
Curious what your workflow is that can not be done via a full RDP solution (kfrb/krdc, wayvnc, and whatever GNOME uses) or waypipe?
Oh good. It’s probably a good time to start moving on.
