This is a truly WTF moment about messed up responses to X11 session removal in Gnome.
2 weeks ago I published a blogpost about the upcoming plans of GNOME 49 and the eventual removal of the X11 session. Since then, instead of looking at feedback, bugs and issues related to the topic, we all collectively had to deal with the following, and I am not exaggerating one bit:
- Fascists and Nazis
- Wild Conspiracy Theories that make Qanon jealous
- “Concerned” Trolling about the Accessibility of the Wayland session
- A culture war where Wayland is Gay, and X11 is the glorious past they stole from you
In my wildest dreams I could have never made this shit up. You all need mandatory supervised access to the Internet from now on.
You must log in or register to comment.
There is no place for Fascists within the Open Source and Free Software communities or the society at large. You will never fester your poisonous roots here. Go back to the cave you crawled out from where no sunlight can reach.
NAZI! DEVS! FUCK! OFF! 💯
Wayland is gay?! I need to get off my ass and finally switch then!

Once on internet, forever on internet :) Thanks.
Looks like I have been an early adopter of Gay™️
On the one hand, the guy who wrote this blog post is kinda unhinged.
On the other hand, I’m kinda living for it and agree with his views.
So really it all evens out in the end.
I use X11 over Wayland on KDE Neon for RustDesk compatibility. The Wayland support for that application is still in Beta from what I understand.
Are there other reasons why I should keep X11? I am on AMD Ryzen 9 5950X paired with a RTX 3090 FE on
570-opendrivers, for reference.I’m fairly sure there’s no way to do remote Wayland from Windows, yet without X11. But what do I know? I’m running ububtu 22.04 still
Remote Wayland, no, as it isn’t network transparent like X11 is. You can still do remote desktops, though, usually with RDP or VNC. On the popular modern toolkits, this works out about the same, since drawing applications through X11 is not so common anymore.
From my weak Linux knowledge, Wayland has problems with screen sharing.

✍︎ arscyni.cc: modernity ∝ nature.It’s not AI slop, and we shouldn’t need to discuss it.
But unfortunately some users’ behaviour is destructive, so we have to discuss it.
I didn’t mean AI slop by you, but by those toxic users.
