Wow it is hard seeing such blowback here in the comments. This is such an obvious sensible path.

We have to pick where we put our energies. No one should be expecting to see much effort or caring on X.org. It's not what's happening, going forward.

By all indications, neither is Wayland. It's barely any more usable without running an X server on top today than 10 years ago.

There is a happy silent majority that disagrees.

I personally almost never need to run Xwayland. My terminals (kitty, alacrity), web browser, all work great in Wayland with good hidpi scaling. Vscode has good support now too I hear. KiCad seems close to landing good support. I use OBS & it works amazing; Pipewire+Wayland is a modern marvel & such a faster cleaner better system than the slow costly trashfires we had. https://arewewaylandyet.com/ fills most of the rest of the little needs I have.
