EXWM is great, having the same flow to manage X applications as for emacs buffers is a huge benefit. My only concern is if X11 will be maintained sufficiently into the future to keep using it, currently there is no Wayland support in EXWM.

Emacs as a Wayland compositor has been shown to be possible. If we eventually get that and threading the future might be rather rosy.

That's a really big ask. The entire ecosystem around Emacs isn't built for multithreading.

I've moved to openbsd for this reason. It works well and I don't have to deal with Linux drama. Toxic slug strategy is really working well for them.

I once read a comment here or reddit explaining that the X11 developers moved to Wayland because the X11 code has turned into an unmaintainable mess that can't be worked with anymore. So the reasons are not drama, but just plain old tech debt.

I'm really happy with OpenBSD also. What is toxic slug strategy?
