You critics missed something...
I'm running Sway on my Asahi-Fedora installation (MacBook Pro). So Sway is an option. One other thing missed in the article was the fact that when you run Asahi all the Apple telemetry stops running as well. Probably one of the reasons it runs so fast. And finally, not a waste of time at all. 1. Keeps the Mac from ending up in landfill. 2. Privacy protection and a hedge over Apple's planned AI invasion. 3. It's Linux... As far as Wayland goes, if you don't like it don't use it. As an old guy, I remember that X11 wasn't so hot at first either, but that didn't stop me from using it and learning. If you don't like Macs use one of the new Arm laptops coming out. Just remember Windows will be running an AI based spyware that will capture everything you do. I don't waste my time on anything (except maybe writing this). I'm also a musician (50 years, three instruments) I have recording credits and a slot on a album that went platinum. I started as an amateur. Bless all you folks who play music for the simple joy of it! We need more musicians, poets, artists of all kinds. Whining self-anointed critics, not so much.
