I suspect the best way to deal with procrastination is to put off the procrastination itself until later. I've been meaning to try this, but haven't gotten around to it yet.

When programming, don't write spaghetti code unless you can eat the consequences. 😉

Maybe, but I find that garlic jokes do have a certain apeel. :-P

Well, after all, life is complex: it consists of real and imaginary parts!

Unfortunately in cases like these the best way is probably to find out which actual terminal it is (e.g. use `namei` or equivalent to find where x-terminal-emulator actually resolves to), then have a table of known terminals to option names to map the option correctly.

A hassle, of course. But ultimately solvable.

What's worse than finding a worm in your apple? Half a worm.

People tell me I'm skeptical, but I don't believe it!

People say I'm ignorant, but I don't know about that!

People say I'm paranoid, but they're just out to get me!

I think there's some misunderstanding here. If all you care about is the ability to run your application on Wayland, it does have an XWayland layer that, for the most part, will continue to function as if it's X11. It mostly works, except for some functions that are fundamentally incompatible with Wayland, such as screen capturing or locking. As long as your application doesn't depend on these incompatible functions, it will in all likelihood work in Wayland.

This is aside from the more philosophical issue of whether Wayland is a good solution or not, which is a question of a different nature.

Maybe the whole universe sucks, but since things fall back to the earth, the earth sucks more! 😉

The fact the Devuan exists gives hope that there are some who are willing to stand up against the manipulations of Big Tech.  Even though this is outside the scope of Devuan proper, there must be some who would be willing to stand up and fight against the trend and either keep X11 alive, or replace it with something better.

Given that there's quite a lot of unhappiness with Wayland (see for example the link to XScreenSaver's page that I posted earlier), the demand is certainly there. All it takes now is for some to fill that need.
