I am a newbie to Linux coming from Micro$hit but please dont kill of x11 untill Wayland has full remote screen control

As mentioned in my title, I am a newbie, so please don't flame me for not knowing things. But from what I understand and have learnt is that there is so many distros now killing off support from x11 which is stable and just works in favor of Wayland desktop which I completely agree is a better solution and we need to move forward with. BUTTTTTTTTTTTTT, here is the thing any distro I have tried that is Wayland first DOES NOT full support remote control, remote screen control like x11 does. Example I use Rustdesk for my job on a daily basis and it only works on x11 does not work on Wayland there is no software that does full remote support control for Wayland as from what I know it does not fully support it yet.

So the bigger question is if this is the case, then Why TF are they dropping support for x11 so soon, They need to fix everything and get everything working first in Wayland before they drop x11 support. This is not rocket science it just feels that the sheep are following the Shepherd.

If I am wrong in any of what I have mentioned then please enlighten me I am currently using Ubuntu 24.04 LTS pro and use Rustdesk as my main Remote support tool.
