There will be enough people asking this as a joke, but I am very serious. Is it actually time to move on from X11 for everyone?

I have been using linux since a couple months after Linus put the first bits of code on an ftp. I have been mainlining it since 1999 and it has been my entire career since 2009.

I have been through all the iterations. The svsV’s, the runits, the systemd’s. And while I don’t enjoy a ton of change I did get over it for all of these and still feel ‘at home’.

But for wayland? I have never even tried. I just see everyone saying you are fucked if you have X or Y hardware, or if you require A or B legacy workflows.

Is NOW really the time for old codgers to give it a serious go?

NYT carrying water for lying billionaires. Again.

Nothing you can say will convince me this was not 100% at the behest of that egomaniacal monster at the top of the company.
