Hello Wojciech,
I don't see why you should worry about that at all.
You need not develop an application that talks the X11 or Wayland
protocol directly. Nobody does that, it would be like reinventing the
wheel. If you use one of the most common graphical toolkits (e.g.,
Gtk+ or Qt), it is my understanding that they support both protocols
transparently.
I have been developing a few programs with Gtk+ and when I switched my
Debian system from X11 to Wayland (if I'm not mistaken that was with
the Bookworm release) they simply kept working, I didn't need to do
anything.
Do you actually have any specific requirements that either X11 or
Wayland would not support (and would XLibre change anything to that
respect)?
