    Fully functional: Performing all required functions. X is fully functional now. It was fully functional in 2003. It will be fully functional in 2032. It’s feature complete and receiving security updates as recently as 30 days ago and is liable to receive them as long as Canonical and Red Hat have supported customers using this or around 10 years from Ubuntu 22.04 and RHEL 9.

    Wayland proponents having failed to convert people to using Wayland by version of superior functionality have no resorted to claiming the technology used by 60% of users either doesn’t work or will stop working real soon now.

    Narrator Voice: It will keep working for 8-10 years and most people have no compelling reason to switch immediately.

      It doesn’t do everything required for typical use of a modern computer. So no, not fully functional.

      And even where it is functional, it does it in a janky and laughably insecure way.

      Even X devs don’t like X and prefer Wayland. Quit fanboying over X lmao
