An X11 apologist tries Wayland
From <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;wiki.ubuntu.com&#x2F;Wayland" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;wiki.ubuntu.com&#x2F;Wayland</a>
&quot;The X11 protocol was designed around running graphical apps across the network. While some people use this feature, it&#x27;s far from common. Wayland drops this requirement as a way to greatly simplify its architecture.&quot;<p>X client and server are usually the same machine, but they don&#x27;t have to be.  While on the road, you can use your notebook to open a Gimp session on your home machine and edit an image stored there.  That is, the Gimp runs on your home machine while your notebook has the GUI.<p>This is a lot to give up for cool compositing effects...
