Let’s do it right here!
Sway is a Wayland i3 implementation and you really should be using Wayland instead of X.
No, you only should be using Wayland if you need some of it’s features. If you don’t need mixed refresh rate/mixed scaling you’re fine using X.
X is abandonware and full of security issues probably time to switch to maintained aoftware
This is FUD. Here’s a security fix from a month ago: …freedesktop.org/…/541ab2ecd41d4d8689e71855d93e49…
Abandonware my ass…
LOL that’s not really a valid counterpoint if it hasn’t been touched in a month.
Sure, activity in the repo and new versions don’t prove the project isn’t abandoned… Maybe you just don’t know what abandonwere means?
Zombies still move, just like this repo. Doesn’t mean the project is being actively developed. Because it’s not. X is dead. Move on.
@aniki @ExLisper Leaving aside the activity of the X project, I still can't switch to Wayland. My main reasons for not switching yet are not being able to use hotkeys while not focusing the program and worse performance in some games ( like tf2 ).
I feel X still fulfills its purpose and as longs as its supported I will keep using it ( unless wayland changes their design decisions and allows unfocused windows to read keyboard for hotkeys )
