    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!

      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

          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.
