Fedora + Wayland

[n2ize]

It is apparently the future goal of Fedora (and probably eventually other distros) to replace X with Wayland. Apparently Fedora is planning to introduce it into FC22 but provide users with the ability to fallback to X should Wayland be problematic for them. Has anyone tried Wayland yet ? Any insights, problems, ideas, or virtues of using Wayland over the traditional X stack ? I'll have to wait a while since I just upgraded to Fedora 21 a couple weeks ago so I doubt I'll be upgrading to Fedora 22 until sometime this summer, perhaps in June or July.

Waylon? I'm sure a lot of women tried him. I thought he was dead, though...

I've not tried Wayland, and wont until I see who is the new "Standard"... X works fine for me with i3. I'm steering clear of Systemd for the same reason.

The problem I have with Wayland is that is requires systemd's logind, which is bad design. Of course, off of the systemd fanbois try saying,"Well, it just needs the logind api..." Too many interlocking dependencies, and too hard to debug.

Funny, I was thinking this route
