Most of the criticisms in this talk are solved with DRI3. Also this guy makes money with a consultant agency that mainly works on Wayland and indirectly profits from shitting on X11. This is not a neutral source.

Not true.

Maybe his employer works on Wayland because there are no X11 jobs?

> This is not a neutral source.

He has experience with both, and he presents his arguments.


Right? I really feel like not enough attention is paid to the question of: Who is paid to work on "the successor to X" and what influences are at work there?

Seems to me that would be an obvious place to look for "why Wayland sucks," given that unfortunately, "paid" sometimes leads one to "exclusivity."


Seriously, if you downvoted this without replying, you're a coward. At LEAST answer the question. Maybe I'm wrong?
