Does any GNOME user here use X11? On my computer I have been exclusively using Wayland for 3 years. It’s great.
Slightly concerned about remote desktopping though. What do I replace xrdp with?
Yeah because they dropped the vnc sever for the Wayland session and our workflow at work still uses vnc
I have RSI, and I use talon voice to control my computer.
Because Wayland doesn’t, and probably won’t support accessibility software like talon voice, in time, as x11 is shut down, I’ll have to move to Mac or Windows. I’m devastated.
Talon voice is what allows me to continue working.
I’m literally going to have to move back to the dark side in time, due to the end of X11, and Wayland’s lack of support for accessibility.

Xrdp works on Wayland, you can keep using it if you like. There’s also Gnome’s built-in Gnome Remote Desktop as well as KDE’s Krdp, both are also Wayland compatible (though I get the feeling Krdp is still in its early stages).
The only thing I want from x11 is a proper wayland autoclicker with working global bindings,Yes I can use xclicker but no global bindings.
KDE user here, I still use X11 to play old Minecraft versions. LWJGL2 uses xrandr to read (and sometimes modify? wtf) display configurations on Linux, and the last few times I’ve tried it on Wayland it kept screwing the whole desktop up.
I do due to an annoying bug that only pops up when using Wayland, forces me to relogin and thus lose my current session.
Haven’t tested for a while though, maybe it’s fixed already.
I still use X because at least last time I tried (admittedly over a year ago) some of my apps didn’t work right on Wayland (KLayout, if I remember correctly).
I have been running
gnome-shell
with the--no-x11
flag for quite some time now and haven’t been missing anything.Yeah, it’s default on pop os. Cannot remember if I tried Wayland, just going with the flow and it works for now
I do, its a bit more stable with nvidia still, i sometimes get black screens randomly wit wayland
I think gnome has an rdp server built in. Just need to enable it in settings.
