Because enlightenment libraries are pure running diarrhea level of utterly horrendous, actually horrifyingly bad code.

There is a super famous "Daily WTF" post from a Samsung employee literally forced to work with Enlightenment libraries (back when Samsung was doing TizenOS) that would be an awesome read, although it's behind a login gate nowadays.

GNOME's stuff are actually pretty easy to work with

You can't. Some laptops have the igpu as the dedicated driver of the display and can't do hardware mux. If your laptop doesn't offer the option in UEFI, it probably doesn't support it.

"Systemd is great", then systemdeeznuts and go use it. Don't make it a huge piece of shit half-imitation of svchost.exe that forces incompatibilities, so we can fuck off and use our own shit if we want to.

I am running Wayland on an IVB GT1. Your hardware is not possibly shittier than this AND capable of handling modern tasks. Also wayland just needs the infrastructure of doing accelerated draws which if your GPU doesn't support then it won't work with X anyway unless you're running truly exotic 2D accelerators from the 90s

That's complete horseshit. There are lile 3 major implementations of Wayland and 2 exist because the other one wasn't ready at the time. There are other hobby implementations, but they all work together. Just like how different network stacks can all talk TCP to each other and be fine. Nobody calls TCP fragmented because there are different network stacks...

There are also smaller projects.

Also, the model of a protocol allows Wayland to be deployed on truly exotic operating systems. As long as the top level is compliant, shit just works.

Yeah TRVE, making a point of intentionally being dumb usually means you're an insufferable cvnt

X11 has a shitload of unwanted and unused features that your favorite X11 compositor is actively fighting AGAINST to render your GUI.

I implore you to pick up the X.Org source code and your favorite X11 shitshow's source code and realize why Wayland follows the same paradigms that apple adopted in 2001 and Microsoft in 2006.

Because as much as they're ridiculed today by libcucks of OSS, FSF was a formidable force of software once. At some point in history literally the only way to avoid paying absolutely insane manufacturer license fees for things like compilers was using GNU tools.

If they put their ass into it, they can pull it off tbh
