X Windowing System is used in XWayland still. X11Xorg is no longer needed. RIP X11Xorg, you served us well.
Edit: Thanks to the note in the comments. I obvously meant Xorg is no longer needed, which is the widely used implementation of X11 protocol. This always confuses the hell out of me.
lol, Wayland can’t even start a desktop session on my machine, whereas X11 has worked without issues since 2009 (the last time I ever had to edit xorg.conf).
Sure sounds like X11 is the one who’s “dead” around here!
We even disagree on what “dead development” means. :D ( Edit: To add a bit substance to my reply, minimal maintenance is not actively developed in my books. )
And almost all (if not all of it) is done by redhat engineers which will drop it when rhel 8 or 9 (whichever one still supports xorg) goes end of life.
No screen readers for one thing since they can’t access other windows. You’ll find that most accessibility features require access to other windows in some manner.

Dead in the sense of development.
I thought this was obvious. But I explained it for you, here you go.(Edit: I forgot to be nice. )X11 is being actively developed, last commit on xserver was 7 hours ago, and it will probably continue being worked on for a long time

With Wayland, programs still can’t restore their window position or size. It sure would be nice if they could get basic functionality working.
Of course apps can and do restore their window sizes. Don’t spread misinformation
Oh noooooooo not a single QOL feature
And Wayland accessibility is very bad.
How come?
