    That’s called a paradox, it’ll never be mature software if people don’t move to it so edge cases can be found and fixed.

      Not here. This is not linux desktop share where every actor is an independent agent and all options are viable. Xorg is developed by the same people doing Wayland, and they decided Xorg is dead and will only receive security updates. I agree that Wayland compatibility is still not fully mature. But unfortunately for all those devs the upgrade window is moving fast and eventually their software will be left behind unless they change to Wayland. At this point Xorg is not even the default anymore.

        I fully expect people to keep using a broken Xorg, not move into wayland, and not fork and keep it updated.

        But the devs are free to do whatever they want. No opinions there. I wouldn’t want to maintain Xorg either.

          Totally, nothing in Linux land ever truly dies. Someone, somewhere will surely fork it once it is never updated anymore. But I wouldn’t want to be that person either.

            If somebody was willing to do this, xorg would still be maintained.

            xorg is actually legitimately so terrible to work on that nobody is interested in doing this who actually knows how xorg works.
