I personally reject Wayland, running XLibre on my laptop and X.Org on my desktop until XLibre makes it to the extra repository in Arch, as I&#8217;m hesitant of using it with Nvidia&#8217;s driver which I need for gaming, for now. And worth pointing out that the security of Wayland over X11 is a misnomer, as skilled programmers have more functionality in X11 and can make their code secure, so more of a crutch for megacorp tech companies that want to use cheap and newly graduated programmers that aren&#8217;t as skilled. And with the XLibre fork advancing X11, security can be and has been improved as IBM\/Red Hat who has control of X11 (X.Org) was killing the project in favor of their Wayland project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Half of Linux Users Stick with X11, Despite Years of Wayland Being Forced\" width=\"1290\" height=\"726\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/18A1mrULu4U?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have a lot of posts about XLibre and X11 verses Wayland being pushed by duplicitous IBM\/Red Hat, all to have a better interface for the coming AI agents to spy on you (think bossware by the state via the tech companies, databrokers to the state).
