And I can develop on an ancient Thinkpad if I want. But I'm not going to claim that's the best UX.

From the article, about X:

> But using it to drive your display hardware and multiplex your input devices is choosing to make your life worse.

This is a weird conflation of this developer's experience after being burned out on development, and the user's experience running a modern distro.

If as I user I confuse those two things, then I'm going to click the button to choose Wayland when I log in. And I guarantee you my experience as a user will be worse on Ubuntu, Debian, and probably any other modern distro by making that choice.

I can work around that worse user experience by choosing alternative to what doesn't work, but that's a separate issue from the default UX under Wayland making my life easier.
