I have RSI, and I use talon voice to control my computer.
Because Wayland doesn’t, and probably won’t support accessibility software like talon voice, in time, as x11 is shut down, I’ll have to move to Mac or Windows. I’m devastated.
Talon voice is what allows me to continue working.
I’m literally going to have to move back to the dark side in time, due to the end of X11, and Wayland’s lack of support for accessibility.
Sorry to hear this; why are so many voice-control tools for Linux so dependent on X11? Is there any glimmer of hope that an alternate Wayland-compatible tool is going to come along in the next few years?
The Wayland security model is far more restrictive. Accessibility tools need to screen capture, create input events on your behalf, etc. Such things aren’t possible under Wayland (yet?).
This is the one gigantic, glaring problem with Wayland. “The most secure software is the software you can’t use” is not a philosophy I support. Accessibility should always be a first class citizen for mission critical components like window managers.
Does any GNOME user here use X11? On my computer I have been exclusively using Wayland for 3 years. It’s great.
Slightly concerned about remote desktopping though. What do I replace xrdp with?

Pretty sure both have been available through portals for at least a year

Accessibility is better than reported on Wayland. It is being taken seriously.
I do due to an annoying bug that only pops up when using Wayland, forces me to relogin and thus lose my current session.
Haven’t tested for a while though, maybe it’s fixed already.
The only thing I want from x11 is a proper wayland autoclicker with working global bindings,Yes I can use xclicker but no global bindings.
I want x11 over ssh
