There will be tools to interact with Wayland
I don’t really like the hypothetical sound of this.
xdotool is essential for keeping some of my basic hardware usable.

Yeah, I mean x11 isn’t Wayland. They aren’t the same. Changing from x11 to Wayland will require change in multiple ways, but I believe once you have worked through the change, you won’t see much difference in day to day usage. But the beauty of Linux is you have the choice. You can use x11 if you prefer. Just be aware the majority are moving to Wayland, so x11 will get less development and Wayland more, and I imagine there will be a point in the distant future where x11 will be a lot of effort to run.

> xdotool is essential for keeping some of my basic hardware usable. That's a good sign that you may not want to upgrade to Wayland on that hardware.
