Why is X11 not supported, Wayland only?

Why is X11 not supported, Wayland only? More than half of the Linux users are still on X11. Even for Gnome, and KDE, even though their recent moves have dropped support for X11, the vast majority of their users will not get upgraded for a year or more? Linux Mint, one of the bigger Distros is still offering X11 as the default and will continue to support X11 for years to come.

That README note goes back to when X11 had real playback problems, and part of that is still true.

Moonfin DOES run on X11, the catch is video. On X11 the player can't get the graphics context it needs, so it falls back to drawing video on the CPU. On a decent machine you may not notice, but on weaker hardware it can stutter. That's tracked in #1588, and someone has already sent in a fix that I'm looking at.

Once that's merged, I'll update the README so it says X11 is supported instead of Wayland only.

Sounds good, I will keep an eye out for the updated version, thank you.
