A release candidate for 21.1.0 has been posted, more than three years after X.Org Server 1.20, released in May 2018. It’s not dead yet :skull: https://lists.x.org/archives/xorg/2021-September/060773.html

It won’t be a year and it won’t be many! It will be some … more. Maybe! :unamused:

lxqt are slowly removing ‘Xorg’ related code… is not they jump through it… altrough the plan is if go to wayland transition would be there to kwin… waybox was there but seems stops developing too :slight_smile: only problem for lxqt is the lxqt-session and some system packages rest can handle wayl…

[image] ricklinux: Currently Xfce, Mate Cinnamon and a lot of other desktops and WM’s don’t support it. As i said Wayland isn’t there yet! Well honestly this isn’t Wayland’s fault. Saying “XFCE doesn’t support Wayland so Wayland isnt good enough yet” doesn’t reflect on Wayland at all but on t…
