For me AutoKey is absolutely essential to my workflow. I have tons of text expansions and shortcuts to “remap” keys. E.g., respectively, typing dAt expands into 2025-05-08, 13:47:40 CEST, and pressing alt + k simulates the arrow down key.
Secondly there’s XScreenSaver which has so many wonderful (mathematical) visualizations that it would be a damn shame if these eventually get lost as Wayland gets more adoption.
None of these have Wayland alternatives as far as I know. For text expansion there’s Espanso, but it doesn’t support keyboard shortcuts yet.
Oké grandpa, its time to take your meds
RHEL10 is probably a month away from being the first distro to ship without even the option of using Xorg. It is not even going to be in the repos.
Other distros will follow their lead.
If you are a fan of x11, not liking Red Hat makes sense.
