I'm member of other communities and at least one person is talking about something not working on Wayland, but working on X11, so we still have ~2-3 (up to 5) years.

X11 will not wither overnight. There are still things which are very dependent on X11. Remote connections comes to my mind, for example.

Lastly, not all distributions are followers. Debian (testing at least), installs Wayland by default, but not enables it. It's installed on my system for a couple of years now.

Thankfully I don't have to, I want shiny new software thanks.

Nobody uses them any more.

That's a choice. I prefer uptime more, for example. I use boring technology to create fun things.

You should follow X2Go users' & OpenOnDemand mailing lists. They're very heavily used by some significant groups (e.g. scientists).

They lied to you.

I fear my slashdot joke was not appreciated. Infamously, a post on Slashdot once stated (probably 20 years ago) "OpenBSD is dead, Netcraft confirms" - Netcraft's methods were then widely ridiculed, and obviously OpenBSD continues to be very much alive to this day.

I remember reading that, but failed to make the connection (hah!). Probably a bit too tired from physical sysadmin work.

You can run remote applications with Wayland now: https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterp...

There is also a VNC server for fullscreen sessions (only supports wlroots compositors for now): https://github.com/any1/wayvnc
