X11 is already dead, and it will not become more or less usable it will always stay the way it's and wayland will get better. that's the difference and flatpak is just an option it doesn't try to replace what's already availible. spreading distrust and misinformation about these softwares doesn't help

X11 is already dead

How do you mean that? I've been using X11 for like 17 years. i3 uses X11, and I will most likely not use another WM if I can help it. It's perfect for me. X11 is available in the core repositories of all the big distros.

Curious to know what you mean by "dead".

It is not getting new features anymore. Just because the distro is packaging it doesn't mean it's not dead.

I heard Sway is very similar to i3. But I'm partial to hyprland myself

I'll say that while it still has features that Wayland doesn't it's not dead, it doesn't get updates yes but it still used by a lot of people for the fact that Wayland just doesn't support some stuff that x11 does. Great example I have is TeamViewer and Nvidia+KDE

You made exactly the point I was trying to make.

I guess "dead" is a matter of definition in this case. ๐Ÿ™‚
