Instead of taking any part in the monthly wayland bashing bullshit, you could just read about how electron, one of the last X11 bastions, has adjusted to wayland. Super important work! https://www.electronjs.org/blog/tech-talk-wayland

    @swick The most of the post is about fighting GNOME's absence of server side decorations 😀

    @swick I'm happy about things gradually moving onto Wayland, but I still haven't figured out why Electron (and by extension anything Chromium) is washed out for me when running under Wayland... https://hachyderm.io/@ROllerozxa/115735441458414005

    @swick if only electron apps were actually upgrading it. Arch repo has every electron version since 31 because there's some app requires it

    @swick As much as I don't like Electron, I'm glad there will be less issues with it when I run apps using it on Sway. If we really want to talk about the problems with electron, we've been going at getting devs to use other shit all wrong.
