Currently using XFCE on a remote desktop. This configuration has in the last ten years been met with "theoretically, someone could maybe maybe write something one day that makes this work on Wayland".

Well, until it is, then I frankly hope that Wayland fails and is abandoned, because as it is now it sucks up all the mindshare of desktop Linux into what it consider a dead end: having each and everyone doing their own owner-draw. One can see the same in all these "cross-platform" toolkits that pops up, where all accessibility and themeability has just been thrown out the window (figuratively).

It doesn't matter if "everyone has been doing it like this for the last ten years": That doesn't make it right.

I can see the frustration that causes, but as a Wayland user my experience is simply better. Screen tearing goes away, and the graphics look cleaner and crisper. I get it's a huge pain for implementers, but I don't see it failing with this improved user experience for most folks. I do miss XFCE, or I thought I would, but KDE is actually gotten a lot faster than it used to be and I haven't been displeased with its performance so that's a win too.

Screen tearing is completely irrelevant when one doesn't have a desktop. But the Wayland people doesn't care about that.
