    It’s not some huge controversy. Almost everyone that works with/on X11 has thrown in with weyland years ago.

      I would say that is a false dichotomy. Almost everyone agrees that X11 isn’t the future but the support for Wayland and the specific ways it does things, is not nearly as universal as that. It is just that the problem is huge and has already taken 15 years or so and so it looks like if we want some alternative to X11 that will be done any time soon Wayland is unfortunately the only game in town, no matter how flawed it is.

          A switch from X11 to Wayland is not just a minor change to your workflow though unless you used all defaults before.

          It requires you to replace your window manager, all the little tools related to things like clipboard, automation, screen locking,…

          And you would have to do pretty much all of that up front to be able to use Wayland long enough to know if it even works on a permanent basis for you. That is a lot of work to put into a project that has a sketchy history of people claiming for nearly a decade now that it works just fine for everything while clearly not working fine for all use cases.
