Is Minecraft dethroning Emacs as the new weird OS that can do everything but probably shouldn't? Can I check my email in minecraft yet?

With this compositor I’d think it could do anything at this point.

For the real emacs experience you could use this mod to render an IDE in Minecraft editing the mod that renders the IDE.

I can't wait to have windowing bugs and UI issues but in Minecraft! Jokes aside, I've grown to love "XYZ in Minecraft". It's like a newer (still 2011 was a long time ago!) version of "Doom on XYZ".

My humble addition is an Alacritty-based terminal emulator in Minecraft, not particularly ready for release to the public

I haven't used Linux desktop in 6 years but I remember when Wayland was new and started replacing X about 15 years ago and these were common complaints... I hope this is a joke and still isn't the case!

Significantly less so than before, but it's unfortunately still the case. It's also just now getting features that people have been asking for for over a decade, and of course due to the nature of Wayland the implementations of these features are sporadic and inconsistent.

It's not. Wayland has really gotten its shit together in the last 5-ish years. A lot of the desktop ecosystem has matured in the last few years, actually.

I maintain that the Linux desktop in 2021 was actually less usable than it was in 2016. But things have really turned around since then.
