    They don’t need to think about display servers. Just update and it will resolve itself. You’re overcomplicating things and scaring people away from Linux.

      thats what i said.

      except recommending unmantained software is bound to cause issues for a layman user, regardless of what it is.

          it needs bits and bobs to keep working as is. last commit is an indicator but not a great one by itself.

          it aint getting new support, and security patches are taking their sweet damn time. compare that with projects that support wayland. also take a look at what a lot of xorg devs have been working on.

          my point this whole time is that a distro stuck on it will start to reflect that.

          i feel like this isnt going anywhere so have a nice day.
