At this point I think you're just arguing in bad faith and you have some strange ideological reasons to cling to X.

As I've already said, if this maintenance effort works out, then great! You, and maybe some other's, can continue to use X and the world will be happy.

I doubt that's going to be the case, but I do actually wish you the best of luck.

Debates, especially on highly subjective issues, will not always be resolved quickly and definitively in the absence of bad faith. That "ideological reasons" you're sensing is the worldview of the person you're talking to.

Sure, ok.

> some strange ideological reasons to cling to X.

"It works" == "strange ideological reasons"

...And you claim I'm the one arguing in bad faith, lol.

You might want to look up "projection".

> I do actually wish you the best of luck.

Yep, and good luck - sincerely - getting wayland to a usable state. Who knows, maybe in another decade or two it'll be worth revisiting

  • Wayland works great for me and is significantly more stable and feature-rich, so I'm not waiting for anything. I'm doing things right now that are probably never going to be possible on X just because of the legacy of X.

    Obviously, our priorities are different, and probably our hardware too. Maybe I'm lucky, maybe you're horribly unlucky, I don't know. But I will continue to enjoy my higher DPI displays, and HDR, and thunderbolt :p
