After reading this recently, I'm really skeptical about the future of Linux, since everyone seems to be jumping on the train. Are all the people using Wayland arranging their windows every time a program launches, or running a tiling WM?

On my HTPC I have similar problems, Ubuntu is looking to retire X11 support but I rely on an app that allows me to use my smartphone as an input device. Any replacement I see working with Wayland (i.e. literally getting new hardware that would be kept near the TV) would be a downgrade.

I don't really use applications with multiple windows and Wayland seems to remember the window size and place it in the center which works fine for me.

but I rely on an app that allows me to use my smartphone as an input device.

What sort of input device? KDE Connect can use your phone as mouse/keyboard (and much more).
