Elon hates Wayland

Prove me wrong
- Legit™
- I think, it's more simple: dude is literally the head of xcom, and his only major competitor is an obvious reptilian.
I wish people on Odysee wouldn't be so absolutely brain dead, it's generally a pretty nice platform, but the comment section is always full of garbage
- I hate the far right people in the comments aswell.
- Yeah, I basically gave up on the odysee comment section. I think would be nice if there was a mastodon/lemmy instance (or similar) that automatically creates post for new videos so that there would be a moderated comment section with more sane users
  
  Not an instance but maybe a bot
Honestly, I've only ever had problems with Wayland so far. So many times when I look up the issue tracker for a software I'm having issues with, the solution is always "switch to a DE that uses Xorg."

I get that it's not a mature software yet, but neither should people be pushing to use it until it is.
- That's called a paradox, it'll never be mature software if people don't move to it so edge cases can be found and fixed.
  
  Not here. This is not linux desktop share where every actor is an independent agent and all options are viable. Xorg is developed by the same people doing Wayland, and they decided Xorg is dead and will only receive security updates. I agree that Wayland compatibility is still not fully mature. But unfortunately for all those devs the upgrade window is moving fast and eventually their software will be left behind unless they change to Wayland. At this point Xorg is not even the default anymore.
  
  Unfortunately there's no possible way to get screensavers working under wayland, which is what's holding me back (also screensharing over Discord, but that's not wayland's fault)
- Aside from sway, I'm trying to think of a DE that doesn't support Xorg.
  
  Hyprland? Also cosmic technically
- "Here, switch to this software! Except it doesn't support half of the features of the old one and it never will. Why? Uhhhh idk security or something. What was that? Will we add a way to securely allow these things? Lol no"
  
  What features are you talking about?
  
  People say this all the time but can never give any actual examples.
What frontend is that?
- If you think this is a YouTube frontend, it's not. It's a different video streaming platform called Odysee (technically the platform is called LBRY, but Odysee is the main frontend for it)
- It's just the default website with stuff in the middle cut out
- It's Odysee
Until can remote session over ssh and restart gnome-shell without losing session, wayland not even option.
