Just asking because I see you are a Wayland user, and I do not really get it, What is the appeal for Wayland? I have seen a lot of people ditching X recently for it.

xorg is bloated and based on a very old protocol, and I generally personally like to support things where devs embark on big architectural changes to make software leaner and more modern. If people simply stuck with GCC because "it just works" we'd never have seen clang or musl.
