Wayland seems ready to me but the main problem that many programs are not configured / compiled to support it. Why is that? I know it’s not easy as “Wayland support? Yes” (but in many cases adding a flag is enough but maybe it’s not a perfect support). What am I missing? Even Blender says if it fails to use Wayland it will use X11.

When Wayland is detected, it is the preferred system, otherwise X11 will be used

Also XWayland has many limitations as X11 does.

    Until I cannot run software on X11, I won’t switch over knowingly.

    Please explain

      Most people use their os to run their programs. So if their programs don’t work without x11 people won’t switch.

        Why would someone stay with x even though it’s deprecated, architecturally broken and unmaintainable
