Indeed and I said I don't propose we change the older distros that are still in the CI. But I am arguing we need to aim our resources so that they cover the most likely conditions our users will experience. And in that, I am claiming that on modern distros, it will be Wayland. Therefore, that Qt software out there that depends on native X11 and won't be ported needs to work on XWayland support of the new distros. That's what I am asking whether we should pivot to. -- Thiago Macieira - thiago.macieira (AT) intel.com Principal Engineer - Intel Platform & System Engineering
