This is true. When I posted that Wayland wasn't ready for me, that's my decision based on the fact that when I have tried to use Wayland in the past, it didn't work like I wanted or expected. Just because something works for someone else doesn't mean it works for me. I might add, what works for me might not work for someone else either. Thing is, what I believe works for me isn't up to someone else. It's up to me to decide. Just like it isn't up to me what works for someone else. :-D This is why I posted earlier that some people use Wayland and it works fine for them. It's also why I said I'm not against Wayland either. There are lots of software out there that I may not like but others do. Examples. Gnome. KDE. Another, Fluxbox. I've tried Gnome but don't like it. Millions, likely MANY millions, of people do like and even love Gnome. It's not for me to tell someone else they should use KDE just because I like it. Gnome may work better and be better suited for someone else. KDE could even be way overkill or just plain not be suited for their needs. Same could be said for Fluxbox or any other piece of software. Should we mention systemd or openrc? Some like one, hate the other. Use the one that works best for you. Point being, these are all personal decisions. Whatever decision we make, it's the right one, for each of us. It's not right or wrong, it's just our preference. Dale :-) :-)
