    Yes, I made it using a laptop's trackpad, how could you tell?

    [Image description: Panel 1: Young man confidently walking, his vest bears the Wayland logo. Behind him is a grunt with the Gnome logo on his face holding a katana. The young man says: "It's high time you retire, old man!" Panel 2: An old man with a long beard and the Xorg logo on his chest is sitting on a throne and petting a rat, the XFCE mascot. He says: "It's still a hundred years too early for you to defeat me!" ]

    Not for me

    Source?

    The Xorg devs have literally stated as much themselves.

    Received a number of commits just last week: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg

    The vast majority of those commits are literally because of Xwayland.

    VRR is supported, at least on AMD: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Variable_refresh_rate

    Barely, it has numerous issues. The Wayland VRR implementations address much of those issues.

    For HDR you have a point, afaik.

    HDR literally can't be added to Xorg without rewriting the entire stack. They've been trying to get HDR working for something like around 10yrs before they gave up completely.
    Wayland on the other hand has been designed from the ground up to be completely expandable, directly addressing the largest problem with Xorg, maintainability.

    ...at least not for every use-case... ...‘mileage may vary’ from person to person...

    Yes, that's true. What would reduce edge cases however, is if you reported those bugs.

    Wayland will probably be the better product one day...

    That day is coming sooner then later.

    Personally for now I’ll stick to X11...

    That's fine, however you should switch as soon as it becomes viable to do so.
