From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Are we 12?
You're telling me a project that has taken 15 years and is just now getting decent nvidia support and which may someday allow applications to position their own windows is rousing success? Compared to a rework of an existing codebase? That has all the signs of a "we bit off more than we could chew".
It'll work, in the end. But 15 years of work on a migration from X11->"X12" or something would have likely been easier. Especially if they didn't ignore nvidia along the way.
Says the guy that believes its propaganda 😂
Blaming the developers of wayland instead of the company, who refuses to cooperate with them. You are really smart.
Have you seen the codebase from x11. Multiple developers who have worked on x11 for decades say its not worth the time to fix it. It was not designed to run on modern systems. Yet here you are all knowing and you saying it they are wrong. You know better.
X11 is dead, get over it and move on.
I mean... I would if Wayland worked on my system. 😂
Then I hope your problems will gets fixed soon.
