I fear that X11 will eventually be installed (and possibly even available) in less and less environments, in the long term.
So 10 years from now it'll be interesting to see where things are at. Hopefully things haven't devolved too far.
- ensiferum 10y agoOne could only hope that 10 years from now X has in-fact disappeared. My greater worry is that it's still around and Wayland (with Weston implementation) hasn't yet gained enough traction to become "de-facto" server. To make matters worse there's the Ubuntu's MIR display server, which seems to have gone silent. This could lead to some nasty fragmentation between distros.
