Devuan should hopefully keep it for quite some time

The future is now old man.

#14As a fvwm user, if Linux forces Wayland on me, I guess my 30 year use of Linux may be coming to an end. Oh well.

Exactly, so this will create a lot of criticism for no reason.
Should have happened with Plasma 7 with QT 7, or at least in the release after next debian freeze (unless they freeze it with v6.7).
If the switch will happen early 2027 that means upcoming Debian will already be wayland only.

As long as you're willing to stay on some old LTS distro, you'll be fine for at least another 10 years. X isn't going anywhere.

#17Wayland has still no way to set DPI of multiple monitors. The fonts look terrible on it. I had to move to KDE Plasma on X11 ever since GNOME started forcing Wayland on us.
I guess I have to buy a 4K monitor in future.

#18TBH I thought they already did. Plasma's X support is a separate package now on Arch at least.
They moved X stuff to separate packages since they added support for Wayland

I thought this problem was Wayland's reason for existing?

#20If you ask me it's still too early.
