    Red Hat kills X11

    So does Valve. Valve and Red Hat are the driving forces behind the recent HDR advancements.

      Yes, but I can still play steam, any Valve game and atm any Linux steam game on X11.

      I don’t hate Wayland as a project, I just don’t like Wayland as it current state. Give me better stability, better support with multiple monitors and a compositor with more customization, and I’ll be happy.

      But, in my opinion, Wayland is by design opinionated. Some ideas are good, such as the security model, some are both good and bad, such as the Compositor VS Server+WM debate (both good systems in my opinion), some are just bad (no unified screen management option; obviously there are LOTS of protocol extension, but not all are supporting everywhere)

      So, imo, WayLand just needs a stable, (really) customizable Compositor with all useful extensions and designed to put other components together; I’m still on my X11+awesomewm+rofi+polybar, and I want a customizable, stable and module approach on Wayland.

        I’m not aware of any move by Red Hat or anyone else to remove X11 support from GTK, Qt, etc.
