    Seriously, people act like Xorg is some immutable black box no one can touch. IT’S FREE (AS IN FREEDOM) SOFTWARE. FIX IT.

    I take from that that you are ready to volunteer to do this?

      I love when people who have no idea how Free software (or, you know, software in general) works have this idea that people who find bugs and report problems are somehow the same people who develop the software.

      Stick to Windows, bud.

        Oh, I get it.

        You agree that there are issues about it, you demand that people fox them for you, but if you don’t like the solution, you go on rants on social media for people to implement your solution despite everyone working on the problem telling you it’s a bad idea.

        Hmm, entitled much?

          Go back to Windows, kid. There is a division between people who report problems and people who work on projects, and some people who report problems even work on separate projects themselves, myself included. But there is a particular skillset to doing low level desktop development a simple application developer like myself does not have, and we pass on our own experiences with bug reports and other things to those who do have them.

          Except in the case of Wayland, whose developers seem to have this “WORKS ON MY MACHINE, YOU SUCK, SHUT UP” mentality. So I’m going to guess you’re one of them if you’re not just some lost Windows refugee kid.

          Wayland’s a lost cause. Get over it.
