    As a Linux newcomer the Wayland/X11 thing has been the most confusing thing I’ve witnessed.

    Surely the average person will just use what works best on their system at that time? I don’t get people wishing to throw Wayland in the trash or the people who take issue with people still using X11.

    Kinda just seems like arguing because you have nothing better to do.

      When we don’t have Windows or Mac users to feel superior against, we will invent issues amongst ourselves.

      It’s an age old Linux tradition. We argue about window managers, init systems, sound systems, and anything else we can. Often it’s because people have built a hacked together system based on what used to work for them. Relevant XKCD
