X11 is still in fact maintained to a degree insofar as minimally fixing bugs. Last activity 2 hours ago at time of writing. https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/groups/xorg/-/activity https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/groups/xorg/-/activity Most of the people complaining are users who don't write any software. There is no practical difficulty in using an x11 wm at this point nor expected to be until major software not only doesn't support x11 by default but cannot be built with support for same. Maybe it will be difficult to run X in 2030?
