@who @Bro666 Well, it's good then that your opinion doesn't matter? No, it's not too soon. X11 was a WELL KNOWN security risk *30 years* ago. For 30 years I've been managing systems, knowing that even an unprivileged compromise might lead to a machine leaking more than a sieve with its mesh missing.

Will it be disruptive? No. Will it change *your* workflow? Sure, at least in part, if you're a streamer or have some very borderline needs.

X11 is a cancer long overdue.
