Yes, wayland by design does not let random applications grab events intended for other applications nor does it let random applications take screenshots at any point in time showing other applications screens. This requires applications to do screen sharing differently, and it indeed breaks random applications sending events to random other applications. That is basically all you wail about and an absolutely necessary property of any sensible system and it is very embarrassing that it took so long to get this.

This OUTDATED article gets posted all the time. The full story is the guy is a massive FreeBSD fan so he is trying to convince more people to keep on using Xorg because he wants to make sure it isn’t abandoned. Reason for that being that Wayland is built with Linux in mind and would not work under FreeBSD without a lot of effort bwing put in as it uses some Linux-specific components or libraries.

Edit: Decided to write a response because I’m tired of this ancient and incorrect article being reposted. Please read it, correct any mistakes in the comments, etc. Thank you.

Ignorant fool.

This gets posted like once per week and this is inaccurate as shit.

“Wayland is bad, it can’t run xorg programs”

Ok but there is an exact copy of the program that is made for Wayland. It’s the same argument that Windows users use to discredit Linux .

“Linux is bad because it can’t run programs that were made for Windows”

person, to datahoarder in scraped media links from instagram and threads

What is your goal with this?

I know, stupid question to a datahoarder. My point is that archiving all of instagram or threads would be impossible even for ArchiveTeam, much less a single person. Are these random posts, or ones you care about?
