There's going to be migration to Wayland at some point. TheLinuxCast made a great video on Youtube discussig this and the death of Xorg. However, with more distros going to Wayland, I don't think that Xorg is going to die out, especially when it comes to the BSD side of things.

Brodie made also a dunny video representing what Asahi said about it. Just 2 days ago Asahi Linux had a stepback becaus of some package was written for xorg and was broken even for xorg.

Is it on Youtube? I don't mind to do my own research.

Personally I think everybody should quit xorg today. That'd force DE and distro devs to make Wayland default.

I tried Sway for the first time a month ago after many years with dwm. All the screen tearing, multi-display issues etc. were gone which has been the never-ending nag from people saying why they can't switch to Linux.

I'm not saying that there aren't alternatives to Xorg, or that Xorg is the greatest thing to come out of the 80s. Matter of fact, Mate was created because Gnome 3 was everything that no one wanted and a dev decided to create his own that looked and felt like Gnome 2. What I'm saying is that Xorg will never truly go extinct because someone will write software that supports xorg some form or fashion.

For sure. But these first-time user distros such as Mint should do their best to make Wayland only available to handle the multi screens with high refresh rates what gamers has.

Why I can't add the picture?

Not sure. Try posting it in a comment. What is the new distro? I thought Fedora already started it by moving to wayland.

It results just as empty as in the first post. I gave an Alpine a try since I've been 6+ years with Arch.
