It's still seeing regular releases. It's split into modules now, but the xorg-server module last had a release in April, I think, with multiple contributors, and at least two people are issuing release announcements.
Maybe I'll consider Wayland again in a few years (though, who knows, by then maybe I'll have fallen for the temptation to write my own X server too...), but for now, Xorg works, receiving fixes, and doesn't require me to change anything else in my workflow for no good reason.
- seba_dos1 2y ago> It's still seeing regular releases. With very limited scope. There's already hardware out there that will likely never be properly supported by Xorg. Though Xwayland - and hence a big chunk of Xorg - will, of course, still live a long life.
- vidarh 2y agoIf that affects me one day, maybe I'll care about that. I doubt that'll be a concern until sometimes next decade at the earliest for my use.
- p_l 2y agoUnfortunately Wayland means increased fragmentation in the hw support, not less :(
- Gormo 2y agoConsidering that hardware vendors are typically writing and upstreaming their own drivers, I don't see how that could be.
