I enjoy reading the whinging around Wayland by people who feel so entitled and so outraged. Every time they never fail to remind me of a previous coworker who was always using the same tactics: « this breaks my existing workflow, I will not adapt, I am all for trying new things but only if they are very exactly equal to what I already know and then what's the point, this is not how I have always worked the past ten years and I will not bulge ».

Not talking about the technical points of the whole X/Wayland considerations here, but a group of people in such debate is always as vocal as they'll do nothing and put unreasonably high expectations on other people to listen to them and have no choice but to agree. The fact that X.org's core team initiated Wayland and stopped X.org development is disregarded: these people Will Be Right against literally everything, they can't be reasoned.

My previous coworker was fired for gross incompetence in the end yet he never acknowledged anything wrong. He always knew better than literally the whole world that bash scripts run manually where superior to Terraform for the whole company's infrastructure. Yes, he was that stupid. I guess this is why he ended lying like hell on his LinkedIn profile, concealing he had had four employers in four years.

Seeing technical debates with such poor quality is worrying. If people with quantitative minds fail to entertain a fact-based discussion, how can we expect our political life to acknowledge there is only one reality and stop lying?

Before you voice your outrage, here are some facts that won't dis-exist just because you disagree with them:
