"Bitrot" is how FDO retards say "we are sabotaging projects with pointless breaking changes to make not switching to our new shiny thing as painful as possible". Obviously X11 will continue to work, but expect mysterious breaking API changes in various GUI toolkits soon. This is where the maintenance meme comes from too. Correct software doesn't need "maintenance", since it doesn't randomly start to fail out of nowhere. The breakage comes from somewhere.
As for me, no networking, no buy. X11 until the day I die, baby. or at least until an ACTUAL replacement comes out
X11 Is Quickly Going Into Maintenance Mode, In Favor of Wayland

I am using sway right now and it is no where as light as busybox. Sway uses atleast 100MB more and proccessor usage is slightly higher. You might be able to blame proccessor usage on sway not support powersaving features like xorg, the server, does. But 100MB of RAM more is inexcusable.

Its possible to use sway/i3 as a window manager based on windows instead of tiling btw. Its a worse experience then openbox all around though.

b-but i3..

But user, I like how comparatively difficult i3 is to use, it's like I've developed a liking for how much of a pain it was to learn so far. You mean to tell me after all this suffering, there is a dare I say better option?
It can't be...

Sway is lighter and better then i3. Openbox is lighter and better then them both. Someone make something better and lighter then openbox but for wayland and then I would be content with xorg depreciation.
Caleb Collins
i3 takes literal seconds to shut down, a feature I can appreciate in a hurry. I dunno about the others, but I guess if Sway is the same. Might as well try it.. no wait.. I'm using CloverOS. Now I gotta figure out how to make it an option on startup..
Owen Brooks
I can't even fucking use sway because I'm on NVIDIA. I bet all my vidya and wine-shit doesn't even work, either.
Why can't it just work bros?

Stop using propietary software and use nouveau. If your hardware doesn't work with nouveau then stop using propietary hardware that is unhacked and use something older.
