alt Hacker NewsI care about being able to use the same password between the display manager, tty and lock screen auth. Yet, I cannot.
I think the original maintainers and developers of Xorg would be the best people to choose if it is worthwhile to continue working around X or do something else. Yes, X provided functionality that now WMs get to implement themselves - since the developers of Xorg worked closer to Gnome and Qt people, and Gnome and Qt people were OK with this, this didn’t feel like a horrible trade off. And given the diversity of Wayland window managers today, I don’t think it mattered all too much.
What? My screensaver password is the same as my login.

No, the users have spoken and continue to speak up that Wayland doesn't serve their use cases.
