I think the problem with btrfs is that it entered the spotlight way to early. With Wayland there was time to work on a lot of the kinks before everyone started seriously switching.

On btrfs a bunch of people switched blindly and then lost data. This caused many to have a bad impression of btrfs. These days it is significantly better but because there was so much fear there is less attention paid to it and it is less widely used.

    @hummus273 Xvnc does not allow you to display individual applications only an entire desktop. I’m monitoring about 20 different computers doing different things and for me it is a significant advantage not to have to bring up a whole desktop but to be able to launch a single graphical application on my existing desktop.

    Yes, that is what I meant with not as convenient.

    I don’t really understand the degree of emotional attachment people have to one solution or another. For me it’s a simple application case, for me Wayland is not desirable, not only does it not network

    Your use case is covered by waypipe (which in my tests is much more responsive than X11 forwarding).

    the embedded X-server as part of the kernel works very effectively by avoiding the kernel/userland switches an ordinary X server would require.

    I think you are confusing stuff here. Which kernel has an embedded X server?

    So for my use case, Wayland is NOT a replacement and so I have to object to people arguing that it is a full replacement for X, it is not.

    What part of your use case is not covered by waypipe?
