I don't understand. You are free to keep using X11 as you please on whatever distro you want. Wayland adoption won't mean X11 suddenly stops working.

- superkuh 3y agoBut in the long run XFCE depends on Gtk which has signaled it will drop X11 support in Gtk5. And already in Gtk4 X11 is being made a second class citizen and they're hard coding for the various Waylands. Adding support for a particular wayland just encourages them. At some point these old style DE depending on Gtk are going to have to fork it.
- FirmwareBurner 3y agoIt's OK, it's Linux, things will always be forked to keep some users happy which is how Mate exists. Other projects will come with the aim to keep X11 alive for that niche who wants it.
