I mean, I've certainly had issues with X before, back when you had to configure it. But they were usually initial issues while figuring out the right configuration. And if you had a GPU where the choice was between shitty proprietary blob drivers and woefully incomplete open ones, you might have a bad experience regardless of what you put in the config. But that's not really Xorg's fault. It can't magically make shitty drivers good. With decent drivers, once configured, it was rock solid, and has been for as long as I've been using Linux. And for a long time the configuration has been addressed; it now figures that stuff out on its own the vast majority of the time, unless you have really specific needs, in which case I bet Wayland compositors don't fare any better. I also fundamentally disagree with the idea that X "does too much", which is often cited in favour of Wayland. The fact that X encompasses everything about how I interact with my computer is one of the things I love about it. I might switch WMs and DEs, but my xmodmap, xresources etc remain the same. |
