Is there something you lack in Wayland but have in xorg?

This debate is so fucking stupid. X. Is. Dead.
Install Wayland, file bug reports, help everyone move into the future.
X is dead
Looks like I'm quitting my job because Wayland is the future asshat. How about I just run both X and Wayland on my computer, file bug reports on what doesn't work with Wayland, and continue to use X until they fix it or you pull your head out of your own ass? Whichever comes first.
Touch a nerve? How about you chill the fuck out.
Lol. Last time I checked you were the one shouting into the abyss that X is dead. Did the OP's meme get under your skin so bad you had to go on a caps lock tirade about how sick you were of hearing this argument and X is dead, etc?
If your criticism had added even one iota of thought to the conversation backing up your opinion, I would have just scrolled on by. There is a plethora of easily accessible data for you to choose from to back up your argument. You could have cherry picked ANY argument you wanted about why Wayland is the future from google and just posted that instead? That seriously would have shown more respect to the people who want to have an honest discussion on the topic.
But no, instead you took the time to basically call everyone who took the time to post here stupid rather than just, y'know, move the fuck on? So yeah, I took some time out of my day to call you out for what you are, an asshat.
Now, are you gonna chill the fuck out, take your ball, and go home? Or do you have some actually constructive criticism to contribute to the conversation? Cuz seems to me outside of throwing another tantrum, those are your only two options.
No.
Make me.
Would be a shame if your distro were to stop shipping X11...
It's Linux. If they switch before all my use cases are working as good as or better than X, I'll just hop to the inevitable fork.
Most people want to do things not file bug reports and wait months for them to be addressed. X gets security updates as needed and will get such for literally years. X is dead like rock not dead like disco.
Unfortunately I just want to be able to work though and Wayland keeps hanging and crashing without producing any relevant logging, despite the fact I'm working on an AMD iGPU.
In the end Wayland and X are tools, if a tool doesn't fit the job it gets replaced. I don't care X is dead, at least it works for me. Probably not the most popular thing to tell around here, but it's what it is.
Bro, I do file bug reports and even fix things from time to time, Wayland is so broken for me I can’t work. Also, when bug reports are met with “it’s nvidia’s fault” and hostility towards the submitter, that further turns me off from participating.
