Is it really ? It works as expected and never crashes. Xorg’s git is active.

Xorg was started in 2004 and Wayland in 2008 At this point they’re almost the same age…

I do.

I used to be super excited about Wayland but it’s been 15 years, now I’m too old to care.

My favorite distro still runs on xorg and it runs so well that I don’t remember why we needed Wayland in the first place. (I am not saying that there is none)

Tearing videos and games have been fixed on xorg when Wayland was supposed to be the only solution.

I am sure Wayland will eventually make X completely obsolete and will be a much needed modernisation of the Linux desktop stack.

But I can’t help but notice that it is not there yet, is old enough to carry it’s own significant technical debt and might never bring the simplification and streamlining that it once promised.
