Actually you can have xorg. There’s really not a lot of people left who really want it (the original developers least of all). Maybe you could even be the one to put in the insane effort required to make it not suck complete shit.
As far as I’m concerned, it already doesn’t suck.
Maybe it sucks to develop around and maintain, but as a user? It’s working for me just fine.
(And, being a stable release LTS kind of guy, I don’t tend to fuck with things that are currently working just fine.)
It does horrific things with memory and has decades of technical dept and backwards compatibility
It isn’t great for the long term
My config is close to 15 years old and I’ve never had any issue with it. What are those horrific things you speak of? How do they affect me? I have no intention to migrate away unless I’m forced by circumstance.
Clearly you never had multiple screens with different dpi values.
I personally never got that point, because when you multi-screen, wouldn’t you specifically want two of the same model anyway because of color correction, fps and such? I know you can calibrate two different displays, but that will only get you so far and they’ll never look/feel the same.
I am sure there are use-cases for this, but how common is it that somebody needs this feature?
What’s much more common imo is connecting a laptop to two entirely different displays and mirroring the output and I had huge issues with Wayland in the past where it would just show half of the screen on either one, depending on resolution. Not sure if I did something wrong, but had to switch to X11 to make it work.
That’s the thing: you shouldn’t need to get identical monitors for technical reasons. And Wayland is much closer to that goal.
