Oh God the end is nigh. No they're not forcing it down our throats, noooo, I was wrong see? That's why even if not useful they're still putting it in the distro. Because they're not forcing anything upon us. Probably when it'll hit 1.0 they'll remove x completely and force all of us to become wayland's bitches.

I haven't seen anyone stopping you from creating a distro from scratch that will use all the good old trouble free "techs" X sysVinit pure alsa. etc

As usual nobody tests weston builds even for simple running. Way to go, wayland!

You may be right! Convincing them not to use wayland will probably be harder then rewriting all linux. That's how sold they are to wayland! After windows 8 people might try ubuntu because they hate microsoft. And when they do we'll wait for them with a nice non working wayland interface! Welcome! No wonder windows, even if it's shit will continue to have 95% market share.

Its not installed by default, by your logic they are also forcing you to play open arena. Not to mention X witch is actually the default.

I seriously don't see your problem: What do you have against choice in the repositories?

No need to create it....there is already one...

The problem is that there is NO choice at all.


YEAH, you read it right !

These things start always in the same way....ALWAYS....1st you have a choice to use it or not then it's imposed on you and will be a nightmare to try to get rid of it if not impossible....and UBUNTU is one of the "best" distro examples of precisely that.
