I don't see anything to indicate that they're dropping X11 support? It sounds like they're dropping dependencies that would require X11 to be installed.

No, it doesn’t sound like they’ll be dropping X11 support any time soon. At least, not before the 2.0 release. It is nevertheless one of those worrisome things.

They’re dropping a hard dependency on X11 and instead using a library that interfaces with X11 or Wayland for it.

It still runs fine on X11.

There is a comment in the forum discussion by the author of the Linux section that X11 support is not going away, simply because SDL supports it.
