I think they all talk about that move but i make a bet no one will actually do it. Remember Nvidia?

And i think anything archlinux/gentoo will stay with x11 AND Wayland for at least the next 10 years.

It's surprisingly usable these days. GSync/VRR has a bit of a frame order problem but the desktop feels really zippy.

It's just snagging at this point. They fix a few more bugs, improve nvidia-settings, maybe sprinkle on some HDR and that's a lot of complaints ameliorated, at least until we all move to Yutani, or whatever the next graphics server's called.

RHEL 10 is going to be Wayland only. You will be able to run X11 apps via Xwayland, but not full-blown Xorg server and X11-only session.
