Comments and Reviews
Direct quote from Hector Martin, developer of Asahi Linux: “ It's [X11] all but unmaintained, broken in fundamental ways that cannot be fixed, unsuited to modern display hardware (like these machines), and we absolutely do not have the bandwidth to spend time on it. Distributions and major desktop environments are already dropping Xorg support. It's pointless to try to support it well today on a new platform.”
