That won't be possible, I think, anytime soon. We still need X11/XLibre because, while it's old, it's still relevant even now. As for 32-bit shenanigans, that's also a requirement for backwards compatibility.
How is X11 STILL relevant when Wayland, a CLEARLY better alternative, exists? And also, why should we keep supporting ancient stuff? Get used to the change or perish, that's how LIFE ITSELF works.
the same way cobol is still relevant while it being older than x11
How is it clearly better? It’s a broken incompatible mess that’s being pushed on everyone that offers more headaches than benefits
Check this for example https://gist.github.com/probonopd/9feb7c20257af5dd915e3a9f2d1f2277
Okay, but that didn't answer the second point.
Is this sarcasm?
