Hardware -> Kernel -> Wayland -> X11 Server -> UI Toolkit -> Application
That鈥檚 the correct design.
Hardware -> Kernel -> Wayland -> UI Toolkit -> Application
That鈥檚 the wrong design.
See, the X11 server provides stuff that UI toolkits shouldn鈥檛 have to, and that Wayland shouldn鈥檛 be made to. Xorg is old and crusty and hard to maintain. The X11 protocol isn鈥檛 the problem. Don鈥檛 throw away mature solutions just because it鈥檚 not new and shiny.
@mos_8502 I never thought I'd wake up this morning and read someone saying something I've never more wholeheartedly believed in.
X11 is a *protocol*, and a good, reliable, mature one. Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater.
@mousey A new X11 server that uses Wayland to talk to hardware but is otherwise transparent to existing software from Xlib on up is the Right Way. XWayland should be that.
XWayland is a good thing. It shouldn鈥檛 be a stopgap, it should be the solution that gets maintained long term.
