    Wayland has an actual future. It is being actively developed. Issues are being fixed and new features are added at least somewhat frequently. X11 might survive past the heat death of the universe, but it will be a stale, fossilized codebase maintained entirely by a small group of opinionated people.

    Some people, for reasons I can only speculate on, don’t like speaking in first person singular. In most cases that I’ve seen, they use “we”. I don’t necessarily agree with the practice from a linguistic perspective, the English language is already a garbage fire as it is without introducing more ambivalent speech… but then I also want to go back to using “thou” for second person singular, so I’m probably not qualified to speak on the matter.

    Even if Galaxy is running under Wine:

    • It’s a package manager. It handles downloading files and updates, installation and patching, and verification.
    • It integrates various GOG services, like cloud storage for save files.
    • It can set environment variables and pass arguments to launched games.

    Besides, a Linux-native port doesn’t need to package anything. It can simply mark Wine/Proton and various compatibility solutions as dependencies. Lutris, for example, is still a great utility even if it doesn’t use the packaged Wine versions: all it really needs to do is execute some program in the correct runtime environment with the correct arguments.
