    Who said Wayland was going to be the death? (Excluding canonical) Everyone knew X needed to be replaced and that the transition will be slow until its not.

    And systemd is not that bad these days. I do think it’s more complex than it needs to be and startup is a bit slow, but that’s about it.

    GNOME making the huge changes inspired the refugees to build Cinnamon and injected some sense into KDE development. Now even GNOME is getting more sensible.

      I saw someone giving a talk either about Wayland and they said someone told them they “don’t like Wayland because it violates the Unix philosophy.” (Do one thing and do it well.) The speaker said they responded by asking “What one thing does X do well?”

      It never was bad, in fact it was better than the alternatives even in it’s beta releases.

      I sure as f don’t miss x, but for the fing love of God can I get some access at the shell level to my input devices? The death of Autohotkey is killing me slowly.
