archwiki has an article about Wayland:

From there:
"For compatibility with native X11 applications to run them seamlessly,
Xwayland can be used, which provides an X Server in Wayland.
4 Xwayland
Xwayland is an X server that runs under Wayland and provides compatibility
for native X11 applications that are yet to provide Wayland support.
Note:
Security: Xwayland is an X server, so it does not have the security
features of Wayland
Performance: Xwayland has a nearly identical performance to that of X11.
In some cases you might notice degraded performance, especially on NVIDIA
cards.
Compatibility: Xwayland is not fully backward compatible with X11. Some
applications may not work properly under Xwayland."
Bottom line: Xwayland is the workaround for X11 applications that have not
been ported to Wayland yet, but Xwayland is way inferior to X.Org.

Hey all.
Is there a project roadmap that is updated? Mostly looking to see the
projects perspectives on things like Wayland for example?
I know that X11 is still around, but its development isn't exactly lively
anymore.
I'm no specialist, but I thought Wayland would have to offer some way for
software created for X11 to continue working. Otherwise that would mean that any software not
"updated" for Wayland would be
unusable - and If Linux distribution go that way, I can't follow.
So what for would TDE ever need to care about Wayland?
