> Yes, not every random app and feature you use on Xorg will have a Wayland equivalent. Deal with it.

In general this sentence is why the Year of Desktop Linux won't come in this millennia. Not only XOrg vs Wayland. Many such cases. Sad!

Xorg vs Wayland isn't a thing because Wayland is the replacement for Xorg.

Wayland doesn't really replace Xorg, tons of things are nonworking, downright weird, stupid or neglected in Wayland. The original article even says so.

Except a lot of things don't work with it. For example shortcuts.

Which is why people keep using xorg… wayland is NOT a drop in replacement.

Keyboard shortcuts? I have only really used Sway but it just kept my i3 shortcuts working; never noticed any change?

Keyboard shortcuts or desktop shortcuts?

my experience with kwyboard shortcuts on sway/gnome is that they're implemented differently on a wm-by-wm basis

I read the article four times and didn't find a reference to tons of things not working, weird, stupid, or neglected in Wayland.

a completely different software reimplemented the same shortcuts. This is not the same as having an existing software keep working with the same shortcuts.

what's a desktop shortcut?

keyboard shortcuts is what I'm referring to

The people who used to work on X now work on Wayland. It is the way forward for graphics on Linux as Xorg is unmaintained. How does that not mean that Wayland replaces X?
