Wayland didn’t kill Linux desktops, but it did expose their weakest assumptions [EDIT: Warning, article likely written with AI assistance] (www.xda-developers.com)

Who said it will kill desktops? X11 desktops still work fine. And some specific tools like screen recorders are not workflows. Wayland had issues with some tools, those get solved and some people use it and are happy with it. Other people don't use it and are equally happy. Why try to invent some apocalypse when there's none?

X11 desktops work fine and will continue to work fine. But very few people will be using them in 5 years.

I don't know who cares. I will use X11 as long as it does everything I need it to do. I will switch when I have to do something that can only be done in Wayland. Doing anything else is just chasing fads or being stubborn.
