KDE's Smart window placement always annoying me where it randomly scatters windows you open where it thinks you want it, which always it NOT where I want the window.
Pardon me, but perhaps I know KDE4 a bit better than you do, since I am able to have KDE4 open windows where I want them, the size I want them
IIRC X doesn't support remembering the positioning of where windows were after closing them,
That may be so, but I don't care since I don't use raw X11. I'm not sure anyone does these days :-)
but I'm assuming Wayland will solve most or all of these issues.
We''l see.
But Wayland looks to be severely delayed; what is going on with that project and when can we expect it?
Wayland has been diverted to the "phone and tablet" world. See, for example, https://fosdem.org/2016/schedule/event/enlightenment_of_wayland/attachments/... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tizen https://www.tizen.org/ http://www.digitaltrends.com/mobile/samsung-tizen-market-share-2015/ The question, therefore, is when will we see Tizen on PCs? I thought it was supposed to be
shipping already a long time ago, but every time they say "it's coming" it never happens, and the current Wayland beta on openSUSE is a total disaster and barely runs on any GPU I've tried it on.
The fact that Wayland barely works and X is a hodge-podge disaster based on code from 1983, just further prooves that Linux (and this includes openSUSE) on the desktop, when we're comparing graphics and GUI's, is behind Windows and has a LONG way to go until it's "feature complete" on on par with Windows. How much longer are we all going to have to wait, and by that time how much further ahead will Windows be? Don't be a fanboy, be a realist.
