    If you’re fine with Wayland, go with Wayland. There are lots of reasons still that people might prefer X11 but the list has been getting shorter.

    • The security model of Wayland is more restrictive than necessary for many users and means things like screen sharing and desktop toys are harder and not universally implemented or doable.
    • Wayland effectively requires many things to be handled by the same process, preventing traditional modular environments (e.g. separating window manager from compositor no longer possible)
    • Explicit compositor support required for more features, meaning having a feature complete environment in small projects is much harder, and the design of Wayland tends to promote a few large desktop environments rather than many small window managers.
    • NVidia’s support for Wayland is still improving
    • Wayland can’t rotate your screen to be on an angle to maximise the length of a line
    • Several programs I rely on don’t support Wayland well yet
      • Steam doesn’t stream from Wayland
      • Transparent bits of FreeCAD show the background instead of what’s behind them
      • Code-OSS required a very silly workaround for decent font rendering, although I think this might have been fixed in electron


  • This is explicitly described as avoiding entrapment. I don’t see it as reasonable to take any political or theological teaching from this. Especially since Jesus left the Pharisees to make the connection and avoided telling anybody to pay taxes.

    Paying the Imperial Tax to Caesar (NIV)

    15 Then the Pharisees went out and laid plans to trap him in his words. 16 They sent their disciples to him along with the Herodians. “Teacher,” they said, “we know that you are a man of integrity and that you teach the way of God in accordance with the truth. You aren’t swayed by others, because you pay no attention to who they are. 17 Tell us then, what is your opinion? Is it right to pay the imperial tax[a] to Caesar or not?”

    18 But Jesus, knowing their evil intent, said, “You hypocrites, why are you trying to trap me? 19 Show me the coin used for paying the tax.” They brought him a denarius, 20 and he asked them, “Whose image is this? And whose inscription?”

    21 “Caesar’s,” they replied.

    Then he said to them, “So give back to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God what is God’s.”

    22 When they heard this, they were amazed. So they left him and went away.
