I'm not an expert on Wayland vs Xorg, but don't you think it is unfair to not let a new protcol be given some time to improve?
It had 15 years to improve. You could write a new operating system in that time.
It already has improved. You're just very ignorant in your idealism. I've used it at home and for work for at least 6 years now and the problems have honestly been way less than expected for an X replacement. Screensharing was probably the biggest hurdle initially, but even that has worked for quite some time now. The last remaining issues are pretty much down to individual applications.
You could not write an operating system even remotely comparable to Linux in that time with the ressources the Wayland devs had available.
LOL x11 was created in 1984. I started with it in 1994. By 2000 it was still a long long way from perfect. Heck that is why wayland x12 is created. Because x11 has some old fasioned ideas that really do not fit so well today.
As for making an OS in that time. Well microsoft seems to have taken way longer then 15 years. And few would ever say they are perfect.
Honestly I am far from a wayland fan. I do not consider it a valid replacement for x11 yet. I also use Nvidia. But it is and will get there. Likly just in time for folks to start wanting a replacement. That is sorta how this stuff goes in the FOSS Operating system development cycle.
