    my point is that this kind of issue will be ironed out anyway and its looking like its gonna be sooner rather than later.

    i dont mind if you are already invested in using xorg and its working out for you (hey, i do too). i just dont see much reason to go into linux for the first time as a noob with it in mind at all.

      They don’t need to think about display servers. Just update and it will resolve itself. You’re overcomplicating things and scaring people away from Linux.

        thats what i said.

        except recommending unmantained software is bound to cause issues for a layman user, regardless of what it is.

            it needs bits and bobs to keep working as is. last commit is an indicator but not a great one by itself.

            it aint getting new support, and security patches are taking their sweet damn time. compare that with projects that support wayland. also take a look at what a lot of xorg devs have been working on.

            my point this whole time is that a distro stuck on it will start to reflect that.

            i feel like this isnt going anywhere so have a nice day.
