On X11 and the Fascists Maggots (blogs.gnome.org)

This is a truly WTF moment about messed up responses to X11 session removal in Gnome.

2 weeks ago I published a blogpost about the upcoming plans of GNOME 49 and the eventual removal of the X11 session. Since then, instead of looking at feedback, bugs and issues related to the topic, we all collectively had to deal with the following, and I am not exaggerating one bit:

Fascists and Nazis
Wild Conspiracy Theories that make Qanon jealous
“Concerned” Trolling about the Accessibility of the Wayland session
A culture war where Wayland is Gay, and X11 is the glorious past they stole from you

In my wildest dreams I could have never made this shit up. You all need mandatory supervised access to the Internet from now on.

Do we have a widely adopted aolution yet for screensharing, global shortcuts, and window position restoration?

Screen sharing under gnome and KDE just works. Even in sway that's solved for quite a while now. I would call that widely adopted. I haven't encountered the other two as problems yet. Global shortcuts work in my sway session. I would expect nothing else from gnome and KDE. Window position restoration is also a standard feature in sway AFAIK. Not sure if gnome or KDE do it.

Perhaps I should take another look now that the ecosystem has had time to mature...

Try the big ones. Gnome or KDE just works.

I use Plasma on my server, but I don't use my server's UI very often

Why does your server need a UI?

I wanted to try plasma and my server is a laptop so I installed some widgets to display stats on the main screen
