that explains a lot, thank you!

whats connected to that steamdeck that allows them to draw

as long as software I use daily doesn’t work on it as transparently as it did to me as an end user on xorg then yes, to me as the enduser, Wayland does break things and no, Wayland is not ready

I am an enduser. I don’t care about the specifics, I expect things to work and not suddenly break.

For all the “year of the linux desktop” shouting, nobody wants to truly really think about or consider non-dev daily driver endusers who just want things to continue to work like they always have

I wonder why it isn’t anymore, because it’s been downgraded to Non-showstoppers

its not listed as one is the weird thing, because it totally should be

imagine drawing and suddenly your compositor crashes leading to your program to crash and you to lose hours of progress, but other QT programs are fine

should’ve used krita because that’s QT except you cant replicate your workflow in that program because it misses features (and also you dont like it)

This is a real scenario I would have to worry about. That’s a showstopper for me

so Wayland is not ready to be a default yet

How is Wayland “ready” when critical things like idk, non QT apps quiting when the compositor crashes (and thus losing progress!) are called a “non showstopper”
