It doesn't need new features and I'm pretty sure any bugs, vulnerabilities will still get ironed out. We both know Wayland will kill x11. The point is, considering we are both using x11, why should a new person from Windows need it now?

In a few years, my position would be different, but for now, mileage varies and many face use cases it doesn't yet cover. X11 is mature and mostly just works.

Depends on their hardware. I use 4 monitors at:

1440p 165hz (FreeSync)
1440p 75hz
1440p 75hz
4k 60hz

It works better on Wayland. Other users could be in a similar situation.

iirc, you can't use FreeSync with multi monitors on Xorg as well

No one is going all in, and once distros retire it, it's dead. Jumping before distros because you have a rush of blood to the head isn't particularly helpful.

My hardware has no Nvidia, but getting screen recording on Wayland was a royal pain in the backside. Functionally, x11 just works better for me right now. When they iron this stuff out and make it effortless, great, but until then, the software still needs maturing.

They don't need to think about display servers. Just update and it will resolve itself. You're overcomplicating things and scaring people away from Linux.
