Been using Linux as sole OS for 25 years now. I will stick to X11 no problems, I am sure it will be just fine for my usage. When we thought Gnome 2 was gone, MATE fork appeared, X11 will be there for a long time. I am also going through the struggle of porting a software I maintain (github.com/edumucelli/docking) to Wayland and it is awful: "this compositor do this part, that one does that part, no compositor does this :shrug".

I have a feeling xorg will still be there, when devs have moved on from wayland to the next new thing.
I'm still thinking wayland will be like pulseaudio. Going from "the future" to "the past" without ever being "the present".

I went from ALSA to pipewire. I tried pulseaudio but it never worked decently.
