> Wayland may well replace X in the future, but at the time of writing X is still the de-facto standard for a window system<p>Is it? The article was written end of last year.

I've kept X11 for a very long time, probably until 2023, because of little annoying details, but now it just works. I think the only remaming thing that annoys me is some apps like Kate not coming to the to the foreground when invoked.<p>Things are slowly going to stop working on X11. Perhaps not today, but we are talking about setting up a new Linux install.<p>Especially something like Arch that has all the recent versions.
