Personally I think everybody should quit xorg today. That’d force DE and distro devs to make Wayland default.
I tried Sway for the first time a month ago after many years with dwm. All the screen tearing, multi-display issues etc. were gone which has been the never-ending nag from people saying why they can’t switch to Linux.
I’m not saying that there aren’t alternatives to Xorg, or that Xorg is the greatest thing to come out of the 80s. Matter of fact, Mate was created because Gnome 3 was everything that no one wanted and a dev decided to create his own that looked and felt like Gnome 2. What I’m saying is that Xorg will never truly go extinct because someone will write software that supports xorg some form or fashion.
For sure. But these first-time user distros such as Mint should do their best to make Wayland only available to handle the multi screens with high refresh rates what gamers has.
