As much as I want to support the idea of a well supported, modernised graphical protocol system, wayland simply isn’t ready yet. There’s so much shit that simply doesn’t work, and they’re all made up of little niche cases that will take substantially longer than a few months to resolve, and I still haven’t seen anything that suggests Wayland has a practical equivalent to xorg.conf.

Is Alma Linux rolling their own version of Plasma with x11? Or are they just sticking with an older version of Plasma? Is anyone else planning on hacking x11 back into the DE?

    this is me looking for any possible solution that will allow me to run a modern DE whilst retaining features that I require.

    The wayland team simply doesn’t give a shit about that. They’re locked in an ivory tower debating the perfect protocol for allowing applications to position their own windows near 15 years after starting their project.
