Well,
I was also a bit put off at first by the lack of Wayland support and then I thought about Fluxbox having no Wayland support and the reality that XFCE4 has just started with preliminary support, LXQT is somewhere in the middle and yes of course Gnome and KDE are pretty much there so yes, Wayland is inevitable but it is also NOT imminent. Debian is usually one of the last to drop core libraries and they will not be dropping Xorg any time soon. So being conservative X will be here in Debian Trixie and I would imagine the next Debian after Trixie would quite likely not drop X either so we're talking like 5-6 years in the future, I don't know about you but I have about 863 more important concerns than Wayland in the next 5 years. At this point I would not turn my back on something as unique, efficient and fun as Moksha because of far-off future Wayland concerns.
yeah that's quite the take
we don't pass on on icecream because it melts away quickly
but I still gear towards stability as the days go by...and the issue is not really about debian or mx dropping support, it's how most apps and DE's have made wayland top priority and how quickly the transitioning is going on...though there had been opinion wars and arguments for years...
I wouldn't pick icecream no matter how out of this world it may be over a meal that would have me going for hours...so I wouldn't want to have a blast with moksha only to end up transitioning 6years later, when it could have been done I would say subtly and w/o so much focus from my end...
that's if we even have 6years, it may be less or more...also, I don't personally get the vibe when linux devs rightly refuse to jump ship to things that have or would eventually become defacto over ideological reasons...in my head, it reads one knows death is coming and instead of taking steps to get rid of it, completely if possible, one rather takes steps to, as much as possible, ease in to death?
I am trying to install moksha using ventoy but I am getting hangs and init not found error (/ventoy/busybox/sh: can't access tty; job control turned off.)
mbr boot though
but I think it is a ventoy issue coping with the newer moksha iso though I am on the latest ventoy version...
