stupid old man rant:

spoilerKDE making random features only available on wayland for no reason like trackpad gestures because memes

GNOME being GNOME which is being useless anyway

And literally everyone else is still using X11 by default, unless you count the 20 random github compositors that no one uses.

I would switch to wayland if it had any actual immediate benefit, especially in performance, but as far as I have tested it doesn't.

Will probably join it in 2030 when the xfce devs wake up from their eternal slumber and make an update for it

Used Wayland, tried Hyprland. Was cool, somewhat buggy.

Switched to XMonad. No more issues.

Wayland is probably the future, but I just want something that works now.
