    I like both Wayland and systemd

    Name one init system that boots as fast as systemd on a modern distro with many services. Then name a display server that’s actually easy to maintain and to develop client applications for

    The current issues with Wayland are due to it being new, X11 fanboys not wanting to explore the idea of contributing to Wayland, and client applications that are poorly designed

      X11 fanboys not wanting to explore the idea of contributing to Wayland,

      People have tried that, those projects are all dead for 3-5 years now because Wayland’s design turned out to be so much more flawed than originally expected with its “Oh, you know all that stuff the X server used to do, you now have to do all of that yourself in your compositor even though you don’t care about any of it and there is no benefit from having multiple implementations” approach.
