Major distros are soon switching to versions of desktop environments that use Wayland instead of X11. This is a bad state of affairs for accessibility.
There were years of announcing the sunsetting of X, and many large projects and companies simply refused to work on it. Nvidia is a good example. Eventually, after pushing off the sunsetting multiple times, it had to happen.

Which made sense at the time! Wayland was (and still is) barely vaporware, a “mission and vision” doc essentially saying “here’s what we want Linux desktop to be like, now all of you you go and build it for us”.

I get what you’re saying but am going to push back on calling it vaporware. It’s definitely real.
