I don’t think anyone’s forcing anyone to do anything. But not a lot of people are stepping to to maintain X

    While it's certainly winded down over time, XOrg is still maintained. Last fix was released in september 2025. Is it enough? It never is. But that's not really an argument to move from "working" to "not working as well" for now.

    I thought most of the maintenance went towards Xwayland, though I don’t follow it that closely

    It mostly did, yes. But when a big issue pops up, X still gets the occasional patch.

    And, since this is a bit of a hot topic it seems, that sounds fair to me. X is the past, wayland is the future. I'm just annoyed at people glossing over the reasons not everyone can move on.
