  • My gripe with wayland is how it made desktop environments less composable.

    With x11 you could sort of mix and match your DE and WM. I could have all the “it just works” everyday computing from Gnome/KDE/xfce/whatever, and the workflow-boost from a Tiling WM. In some cases, making it work was a bodge but it worked.

    Now, with Wayland, your WM is effectively your DE. It’s now a constant choice of “do I want tiling? Or do I want to print something, or be able to change my resolution, or to plug a USB stick and mount it without remembering the arcane incantations”.

    I just want to be able to print something, and have virtual workspaces per monitor. I could live without tiling.

    I agree. Sandwiches are a member of “misery foods”. Especially cold ones.

    Can they be good? Yes. But equally, there is usually a more appealing alternative available. Unless you’re in a place of misery.

    Eg:

    • a small airport.
    • a hospital late at night.
    • pret-a-manger
    • rural train station
