One thing I saw in comments about the removal of xorg server is that some might not see how much work is/was to maintain xorg server. I understand is hard to see from outside, but maintaining xorg server with the standards we have in RHEL is not a small beast. Let me share some:

    I honestly don’t get these posts, there’s a couple of things that is super weird.

    1. Why does every discussion about Wayland include trashing xorg?

    2. Isn’t the solution pretty obvious, stop mainting xorg if you don’t like to maintain xorg, who is forcing you to maintain xorg?

    I really don’t care if I’m using xorg or wayland, I just want something that works, and I have tried wayland and that isn’t the case as of the moment. And I don’t care about the why, because I can’t be like yeah I use Wayland that’s why I can’t be on this video conference.

    Just stop mainting it if you don’t want to maintain it, problem solved, move on.

      I don’t know, really, but it’s something I feel I’ve seen before. I thought about it and it’s just fanboyism.

      Some people get legitimately angry when they see someone using something they don’t like, and I think Wayland fanboys fit in this category to a tee.

      I see the exact same kind of backlash whenever someone brings up Nvidia or Manjaro. The fanboys come out and all take it as an opportunity to recommend what they like because they believe their tastes are superior to everyone else’s.

    I guess Wayland isn’t as feature-rich as X because people from RHEL don’t want to put in the work to maintain it.

    Not surprising, really. It just follows the modern trend of removing features so incompetent programmers have an easier job.
