Exactly! Xlib is going to be like Win32. It will be support for indefinite. It is worth noting that from the very start, one requirement for a xorg replacement display server was that it MUST be backwards compatible, otherwise 30+ years worth of software will stop running, and the Linux community can't afford that to happen. At this time Wayland only targets Linux. Other operating systems like Solaris (and it's new open source equivalent), all *BSDs etc will continue to support Xorg. So it's highly unlikely that Xorg will simply become abandon-ware. > It would be interesting that people who have a "pure" Wayland system > installed try to run some MSEgui applications and see if there is problems. Latest Ubuntu can switch to Wayland display server and fpGUI and MSEide runs fine on it. Ubuntu 21.04 will default to Wayland display server.
