The Linux graphics stack from X to Wayland (2011)
Like most of what freedesktop.org does (pretty much since dbus), I look at Wayland and think, &quot;hmm... that&#x27;s a probably-interesting solution to a set of problems I just don&#x27;t have.&quot;<p>I&#x27;ve never in my life seen this &quot;tearing&quot; that people keep complaining about. OTOH I use X&#x27;s network transparency daily. I&#x27;m sure several years from now Wayland will be able to replicate the use cases I get now from X, at which point I&#x27;ll probably switch. So, I wish the best to the people working on it, even if I scratch my head over their intentions.
