Which in the end one has to make peace that the Year of Linux Desktop is better as a UNIX like headless system running on Apple Virtualization, or WSL VMs.

On one side we have X not getting updates, as key devs moved into Wayland, on the other side we have Wayland, which is reaching Hurd levels of development time, with issues like these, being in development since 2008(!).

Then we have the whole issues with audio stacks, reversed enginered 3D drivers although all GPU vendors have their own Linux distros for AI researchers, video hardware decoding still hit and miss,....
