Thanks for providing some context. I still don't get one point though; Nobody is taking X away. You can still run any DE and any application on X if you want to. You're not being restricted in your ability to run applications, quite the contrary; your are being given more options. So even if your use-case is not yet fully supported on Wayland, why hat on it? No one is taking anything away. But yeah; ever since Sun stopped founding it, the accessibility situation on Linux has been dire.

> You can still run any DE and any application on X if you want to. That's unfortunately incorrect; so far Waydroid is the only program I've hit that explicitly requires Wayland, but I expect the list to grow with time. > So even if your use-case is not yet fully supported on Wayland, why hat on it? No one is taking anything away. Because it's abundantly clear that a noticeable set of devs and maintainers would really like to take it away, or at least refuse to support it (if there's a difference); see ex. https://social.treehouse.systems/@marcan/110354541574112092 https://social.treehouse.systems/@marcan/110354541574112092 where the lead dev on Asahi Linux seems ready to drop Xorg completely until someone points out a11y problems with Wayland, or https://www.phoronix.com/news/Fedora-40-KDE-Plasma-6-Plan https://www.phoronix.com/news/Fedora-40-KDE-Plasma-6-Plan for Fedora looking to drop KDE+X11.
