> I would gladly hop in a better car, if the newer car has less features and is worst, I will not.
The ecosystem around bicycles is much better than the ecosystem around trucks.
You are tasked with getting to and from work every day, in the beginning it's just you who travels, but over time you have more and more things to carry with you- shovels and such.
You buy a trailer.
You find that with your trailer it's more difficult to see what is coming up behind you, so you buy side mirrors.
You find that in the cold it's difficult to keep your hands warm, so you buy hand warmers, and lights on a dynamo.
Eventually your bike is quite heavy, you carry much and requires much more effort to operate.
But it has a lot of "features".
This is the sunk cost fallacy in action.
> Do you love broken userspace? That's great, choose a compositor that breaks your userspace? My mentality of having robust software is the opposite. Suprise!
My userspace is absolutely not broken. Arguably it's less broken than yours but you've patched around the issues or are blind to them.
Sway crashes for me less often than Xorg did; but I understand that Xorg and Wayland are not the same, and that took some getting used to, and indeed it was uncomfortable in the beginning.
You are passionately arguing from a place of absolute ignorance, I have used both. I have used both professionally. I have used both for years.
Yes, I replaced a lot of my normal programs.
Yes, Wayland has issues, many of which could have been addressed if people weren't conservative. Not that I begrudge them for it, I believe choice is good.
But, it's absolutely ignorant to claim that X11 has features. X11 does not have features, it has people willing to hack on it and an architecture that allows disgusting and ugly hacks to work.
You might like that, I absolutely despise it- because malicious software exists (and I use it), things like Zoom which if given the opportunity would love to run as root and capture all my keystrokes.
Things like Teams which on Android devices managed to block 911 calls.
Things like Chrome which is attempting to be my userland.
Ultimately, I trust my windowing system more than I trust random programs I may run to bind my hotkeys.
> I'll end by saying wayland is fundamentally broken.
Wayland is not "fundamentally broken" it's been working for me professionally for years. The "features" you cite so often are non-features "my cursor can change color!" which are not inherent in x.org at all.
Wayland "breaks" things that are designed to work exclusively with X11. Much like how graphics cards "break things" that are designed to work on a serial console.
I must conclude that you're a troll. Honestly.
