Except that distributions are switching to Wayland by default, and
presumably nobody wants to maintain X11. I think X11 will live as long
as NVIDIA/AMD wants to maintain their drivers for it. If they'll say
"we're dropping X11", it will be the defacto death of it.
Also Wayland folks want to force the change and perform a violent
migration by forcing us all to use Wayland. This means that it is to be
expected that some stuff won't work. I don't agree with this on many
levels, but at the same time I don't have any better idea of improving
things to suggest.
Whatever is to be said about Wayland, ideologies and how distributions
are handling migrations, one thing is for sure: Linux needs Wayland.
On the other hand, nobody needs Perl6/Raku. Those things are not the
same.
