    If “the wheel” is achieved by making literally every application you run a keylogger, I’m very cool with Wayland “reinventing the wheel”. X11’s handling of user input is a fucking embarrassment.

    Besides just the Steam Deck and Proton, a big reason people are finally sticking around on Linux is because using X11 feels exactly like what it is: a cobbled-together piece of archaic shit that needs to be left behind.

    Wayland by contrast feels fantastic to run, and on my GTX 1070 with proprietary drivers, the only current issue I have with it is how Firefox picture-in-picture popouts don’t stay on top by default.
