> Although, I've never understood why the presence of Wayland means X.Org needs to disappear.

Because it takes time, money, and effort to keep it around. Literally everyone who knows anything about the Linux graphics stack agrees that Wayland is the superior approach. So rather than maintain one code path for a superior graphics stack that actually enables a competitive desktop environment and another code path for yesteryear's graphics stack that only caters to a bunch of old grognards who fear change, the project maintainers just said fuck the grognards, the wasted effort supporting them is holding the Linux desktop back. The situation has gotten so bad that the Asahi Linux kernel's video driver attempts to detect if it's being accessed by an X server and refuses to work if it is; Wayland is the ONLY supported path by the Asahi project.

Sorry, X11 has got to die -- because the grognards have supplied nothing but endless whining about the Wayland situation instead of putting in the work necessary to keep it alive. You want to keep it around for your niche use case? Maintain it yourself, or hire someone else to. Just don't expect support from the major distributions, GUI tool kits, or application projects -- or kernel drivers.
