    xorg almost always worked for me. it had some quirks, but startx almost always solves it. And Xorg is supported by much more gui systems and applications, screen recording is also easy with it

      I can’t say I’ve had the same experience. It was always buggy especially with multiple displays and touch screens. What pushed me to Wayland was the much better battery life.

        ok i know that wayland is better for those but it is still not a valid reason to abolish xorg

          We aren’t abolishing Xorg. I will be here for a very long time.

            i really hope so, because if they did, 65% of desktops/wms wpuld become inaccessible, that would really erode my trust with linux

              Why would they become inaccessible? Also why would that erode trust?

              You can do whatever you want.

                many desktops and wms were only designed for Xorg, as wayland wasn’t anywhere in that time
