X is abandonware and full of security issues probably time to switch to maintained aoftware
This sentence works really well for twitter too
This is FUD. Here's a security fix from a month ago: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/-/commit/541ab2ecd41d4d8689e71855d93e492bc554719a
Abandonware my ass...
Sure, activity in the repo and new versions don't prove the project isn't abandoned... Maybe you just don't know what abandonwere means?
No one stops you from moving to Wayland. It has it's uses. But the FUD you're spreading is stupid and boring. X is fine, it's exactly what a lot of people need and it doesn't make sense to move their DEs to Wayland only because it's 'new'. The fact that it took Wayland 10 years to reach any sort of usability shows just how little does it offer to an average user.
