Wayland seems ready to me but the main problem that many programs are not configured / compiled to support it. Why is that? I know it’s not easy as “Wayland support? Yes” (but in many cases adding a flag is enough but maybe it’s not a perfect support). What am I missing? Even Blender says if it fails to use Wayland it will use X11.

When Wayland is detected, it is the preferred system, otherwise X11 will be used

Also XWayland has many limitations as X11 does.

    Non linear evolution at it’s finest ;-)

    It’s a lot harder to keep track of than it used to be but (holy crap) we won… mostly.

      Honestly? Yeah. I agree. At the very least, a solid niche has been carved out, and it’s growing. I like that.

      I’d really like to see more governmental support, but… …so it goes.

        I’m pretty sure that just free is harder to tax. Remember having to stop and explain what unix was? :-)
