"Wayland breaks everything."
Wayland is a communication protocol that is intended to replace the X Window protocol that Linux computers use. It's supposed to be more modern, simpler, and more secure. But apparently it breaks a lot of programs. This page has a big list.
Boycott Wayland. It breaks everything!

Wayland looks like a big headache for me, just like systemD

in reply to Wayne Radinsky (old account) • • •X isn't buggy, certainly not in its design. The code is pretty damn mature too, though as with all code it has some deficiencies.
X is far from dead (not that any open-source software can ever fundamentally die).
I haven't seen any evidence of how Wayland is more secure, especially not in its fundamental design -- equally bad I'd say.
Wayland is more "modern"? In the way that "modern" web sites are filled with gigabytes of bloat and unnecessary complexity?
As for Wayland being "simpler", well that's kinda because it kicks all the necessary complexity out to the side for other parts of the GUI and applications to deal with. The easiest "fix" to Wayland's missing bits is to simply turn it into a back-end for X11!
