I’m periodically re-evaluating Wayland for my own needs, and so far I chose Xorg every time. I need to do work on my ws, so I need to prioritize stableness to features. I don’t care about fancy features and I’d be ok with KDE 3.5.
Ironically, what should work way better on wayland rather than xorg (hidpi, especially with fractional settings) still works better on xorg for me.
This statement continues to sound like its trying to become self-fulfilling.
Xorg releases still happen (I'm not going to get into a debate about what is "well" maintained)
As many people move to Wayland those interested in X long-term should be given the space to do so, and statements like this set out to prevent it.
It's even a case of "protest too much" -- saying it over and over means that probably it isn't true.
The statement "Xorg isn't well-maintained anymore" isn't an attempt at a self-fulfilling prophecy. It's a statement of fact. The people and companies and organizations who used to do the work on X11 are now working on Wayland. The same people and groups are doing the same kind of work, just on a different protocol.
14 years later there's still no rational reason to run Wayland, and I doubt there ever will be.
I'm a simple user with simple needs, though apparently that's already pushing the limits of what Xorg can deliver: I have a high-DPI laptop scaled 140%, and a secondary high-res/average-DPI display at 100%. Mixing scaling factors has never worked well under Xorg (rendering glitches with ghost lines, applications like drop down terminals not knowing the dimensions of their viewport when opened on one screen and then or the other). And I'm not even getting into the better handling of discrete GPUs or the much smoother scrolling/animations that give it a better polish.
Xorg totally made sense in the context in which it was invented (in the long forgotten era of server-side rendering), but with applications rendering their own widgets and passing pixmaps to the compositor, Wayland is mostly about cutting the middleman and breaking-off with the obsolete/unmaintained/insecure bits. If you grab a distro with the latest gnome/kde, you should be at a point where Wayland really is only upsides.
