I think a decent amount of distros will either adopt it or get 3rd party repos:so my question would be, whats the likelihood that xlibre even gets adopted by anyone? im sure distros will package it eventually, but will apps and desktops support it? i have lots of apps that could not be replaced. while i could probably keep using old versions of software myself, what happens when a web browser drops x11? am i just fucked?
I think we're just going to see more advanced and mature versions of shit like this (the opposite of xwayland):sure, but don't apps and desktops also need to support it? several desktop environments are already talking about switching exclusively to wayland, because (understandably) developers don't want to upkeep two versions of these already massive projects. and i cant imagine random internet projects made by 1 person in their free time want to do the same. i've already seen programs i want to use outright REQUIRE wayland, and refuse supporting x11.
and I think it will be hilarious if it works better than native Wayland. There are a ton of tools (KiCad, DAW music tools, Flameshot, Xscreensaver) that may never work on any Wayland system.
