alt Hacker News> Who is forced to use it? Just use X11, as you said (many times) you do already.
Recent versions of gnome session are compiled only with wayland support in archlinux. To change DE or distribution or use custom package is quite a stretch to call it's not forced.
But then it's not Wayland's fault: Gnome decided to move to it and stop supporting X.
I don't like systemd and the fact that mainstream distros push for it, but as a result I use a distro that gives me the choice (Gentoo). Who am I to tell the distro maintainer what they should do for free?
