For all those that think Wayland is the wrong path to go:
"The technical reason why this issue stayed open this long comes down to X11. [...] The KWin maintainer Martin Flöser had said as much in 2013, effectively ruling it out for the entire KDE 4.x series. The only realistic path was through Wayland"
This Wayland fix was a long time coming.

FVWM is/was great. I started using more or less when it started and I've used it as recently as 2022 on some custom embedded "carputer" type devices. Totally themeable/strippable/placeable.
Would like to see a #wayland version but... probably won't happen.
Had a stint of using #afterstep for a number of years. On an Intel Pentium dual P90 homebuilt. Ha!

I guess people hating #Wayland are the same folks that hate #SystemD or even #PipeWire whilst refusing to #DoBetter themselves:
#Toxic #Neighsayers that refuse to acknowledge that #Xorg, #SystemVinit and #ALSA / #OSS are bad.
Instead they create redundant work that noone cares and that only.pulls resources from improving mainlike #Linux.
Or does anyone use #Devuan in any busoness-critical applicationm?
Looks like @serebit released #Waycheck 1.0.0 today. Naturally, that means it should be *everywhere* for your #Wayland checking needs! 😉
