Many of us are notorious fence-sitters. This video attempts to explore some of the psychology of our profound hesitation when switching operating systems. I will share my personal experience, talk about some of the fears we face when making big changes, offer some warm encouragement, and do it all without a whiff of the elitist technobabble that tends to rear its ugly head in Linux discussions.

I'm not afraid of change, I just want to ensure change is for the better and that change isn't in a direction we haven't already tried 3000 times always ending in disaster, socialism/communism being a case of the latter, and Wayland being a change that I consider to be the former, it doesn't network and that was the whole point of X windows. It was a NETWORKING window system. If you just need local graphics Wayland is fine but it doesn't fit my use case.

@tekato That doesn't solve for x2go, rdp, or guacamole, I've got customers using all of those plus vnc.

I don’t know what those mean and don’t really care. I simply corrected you when you said Wayland cannot be used remotely.

@tekato Sure you can use a third party app, but X without ANY app re-directs to whatever display you want it to. And there are precious few third party apps for Wayland, at least half a dozen that I know of for X.
