X11's handling of user input is a fucking embarrassment. Besides just the Steam Deck and Proton, a big reason people are finally sticking around on Linux is because using X11 feels exactly like what it is: a cobbled-together piece of archaic shit that needs to be left behind. Wayland by contrast feels fantastic to run, and on my GTX 1070 with proprietary drivers, the only current issue I have with it is how Firefox picture-in-picture popouts don't stay on top by default. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [+] popcornpizza@lemmy.blahaj.zone -13 points 1 year ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 child) [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] TheTechnician27@lemmy.world 22 points 1 year ago* (1 child) Has anyone so far stopped you from using your outmoded tangle of garbage? Or do you just not like that major desktop environments are switching to more sensible defaults? If you're worried about GNOME 50 dropping X11 in the future... okay? Nobody's obliged to maintain your shit. Linux is all about choice, and it's their choice not to spend untold thousands of hours working to keep X11 usable, just like it's your choice to change your Linux to something that does still use it. Switch to any one of the other desktop environments; see if the Wayland Illuminati or whatever gives a shit. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [+] popcornpizza@lemmy.blahaj.zone -8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 9 months ago) [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent [–] hddsx@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 year ago Hey we are penguins not ducks permalink fedilink source parent [–] TabbsTheBat@pawb.social 6 points 1 year ago (1 child) 'tis the wheeland experience :3.
