The most obvious, user-visible loss of features are applications no longer able to grab/mess with contents of another application's window. Screen sharing and remote desktop was broken for a long time in wayland until it's fixed via pipewire recently. Under X11, rendering is free-for-all, where any app is free to do whatever it wants to other app's window. Heck, you can even tell mpv to play video on a cell in librecalc if you feel like it. Such shenanigans is now impossible in wayland because it's a big security risk (though I'm not sure if it's actually exploited in the wild).
The most hyped feature of wayland is better support for high resolution "retina" display. Also, you can use multiple monitors with different dpi/scaling in wayland. IIRC it's not possible on X11, though you can use xrandr to force the scaling on each monitor, though it'll result in blurry texts because the scaling is not done natively.
Google, who was famous for employing Guido van Rossum (creator of Python) is now firing their python team. I wonder why they didn't reassign them to the ML/AI division.
It's an entirely different design than X11. It gains features not possible to implement on X11, while losing many features exists in X11. People that like those new features love Wayland, while people that use those missing features hate it.
Being a successful politician in China may allow you to control large companies. Being a successful businessman in US may allow you to control political parties. I guess the endgame is the same for powerful people in both countries.
Lucky you! Just install one right now and experience a less annoying, faster loading web for the first time! Also install consent-o-matic while you're at it.
Yeah, it's kinda hard to find good stats because Linux users hate telemetry. I doubt there is an accurate desktop environments market share stats out there. Might as well conduct our own poll here and see the stats for this community.
How long would it take for an average guy to learn Chinese without actually living in China or near a Chinese diaspora?
