Even if your distro is using Wayland by default, the Xwayland implementation is probably still used for compatibility with X11 apps, so you still need to patch your systems and make sure that the latest version is installed.

But people told me X is not being maintained anymore.
30 20 ReplyActively developed is different from "maintained"
OpenOffice (OO) is being maintained and shouldn't be used
LibreOffice is being actively developed and should be used as a replacement to OO
Legacy softwares such as X11 and OO get updates to fix vulnerabilities
You prob said as irony, so used this opportunity to promote LibreOffice :)

Yeah, they lied. X being dead and full of security issues is just a FUD. Keep calm and carry on using X.
