akko_shrug GNOME 50 Ends the X11 Era After Decades // @linuxiac

「 However, it should be mentioned that the removal doesn’t mean X11 applications are dead—far from it. XWayland remains fully supported, serving as a compatibility layer that allows traditional X11 applications to run inside the Wayland session. For most users, this transition will be transparent 」

@jbz @linuxiac I honestly don't see it as much of a loss.

Xorg is allready long being close to unmaintained and has major security flaws in the very basis of how it works.

Without a complete rewrite, xorg never had the chance for a future, as it became apparent in the last few years.
