If Wayland can offer all features that X11 offers at the moment, there will probably be no major problem in transition.

No idea what I'm "obviously" doing wrong for decades... I'm using FreeBSD as a very reliable (!), convenient, modern, pleasant, do-not-interfere-with-my-intentions kind of desktop for probably 20 years, for regular desktop use, development, gaming, media, everything. Personally, I'm not missing _anything_ that's important to me; on the other side, Linux desktops do not offer this kind of reliability yet. ;-) -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
