Want to know how I know you've never once even looked at the X11 source code before pronouncing it "spaghetti code"?
Just repeat what you're told. It's what everyone else does.
I watch videos all the time on X11. With double buffering enabled, there is no screen tearing. It's fine. I have a 12 year old video card. Not exactly new tech.
You've replaced one "fundamentally flawed design" with another one, in the name of addressing petty, exaggerated concerns. This happens all the time these days. Nobody questions anything because most of you have fundamentally lost the ability to actually think. Repeating pre-packaged slogans, taglines, and catch phrases is about all anyone can do anymore.
I've heard all the nonsensical arguments in "favor" of Wayland and I see through all of them, exactly as I saw through systemd, pulseaudio, and all the other garbage that keeps getting shoved down everyone's throat. I'm not the only one. We're not using any of this shit.
We are computer programmers. We can maintain it and keep it going our damn selves. Really, there's not much work needed. X11 just keeps going, and going, and going, like the Energizer bunny. Maybe one day Wayland will have remote desktop support. lol
why do you care that much that other people "reinvent the wheel"?
