Wayland cannot handle screen capturing, screen sharing, magnifications and virtual keyboards which X11 (NATIVELY) supports and is pretty good at.
YouTube guys who depend on these features are held high and dry by KDE and Gnome who want to desert X11, their original base.
Wayland in not universal or global protocol but a compositor.
Wayland does not work on old machines which are functional machines to this day. Wayland does not work on certain old but useful distributions.
UBUNTU created this saga and left the scene and that is why I do not use UBUNTU to this day.
However, X11 is the standard for all Window Managers.
It was Ubuntu upsetting the apple cart.
It was a crime.
There are so many compositors that do not work on old computers.
I do not mind KDE moving only to Wayland.
I am ambiguous about GNOME becoming only Wayland.
It is the total abandonment of Linux Philosophy.
GNOME and KDE distributions send (alarm bells) electric shock through my spine.
I would not bat on Linux for ever but only until, I am 80 and thereafter I would retire.
It is the responsibility of the Young and the Enthusiasts to drive Linux Philosophy forward.
This is like throwing the bath water with the baby.
Guys and who did not make any contribution to Linux code is making decisions to undermine the very nature of Linux at its core.
Yes, it is a crime which is not punishable.
I won’t like long to see how the future hold for the mankind.
