    I mean, there’s some features now that get implemented on Wayland, which haven’t been properly implemented on X11 for many years, because it was just too much pain. For example, multi-touch gestures, and I believe also automatic screen rotation for tablets.

    If you are on more traditional hardware, i.e. a desktop PC, then this will not be as relevant and X11 will probably continue to work fine, for the next few years.
    But it should also be said that dipping your toes into Wayland is quite easy for users on e.g. KDE or GNOME. You just install the Wayland session, if it’s not already installed and then you can easily switch back and forth on the login screen.
