There is a manifesto that is literally titled the “The Post-Meritocracy Manifesto” which a lot of people unironically agreed with, at least when those were hot topics a few years ago.
So any attempt at pretending that there isn’t an anti-meritocracy angle to this would be disingenuous to say the least.
That same person behind the manifesto is a primary figure in introducing CoC’s to software projects btw.
What X11-only apps/programs did you need xwayland for?
I actually always disabled xwayland whenever I experimented with wayland (weston and sway), because everything I use is supported natively, and I wanted to make sure the native support was forced.
