This might be a hot take, but you'll have to take X from my cold, dead hands.

Or at least until things start breaking, or maybe until Wayland has e.g. stellar HDR support and I'll get a nice OLED monitor. Otherwise, no dice.

I know that X is a crusty old spawn of Cthulhu; but honestly, I don't really care? It just works! I set up my system 10 years ago with how the UI works (including my window manager), and it stably works since then without me having to ever fiddle with it. The fact that X's development is dead is also a feature, because there's no churn!

And when I see other people complaining what still doesn't work on Wayland (where everything works perfectly for me on X) I'm like, eh, I don't have the time for fiddling around; maybe I'll try it out some other day.
