Questionable posts? Care to explain? So not having the same opinion that you have or being in favor of Wayland is questionable now?

I understand where you're coming from, but there is no turning back at this point. Sure, you could still run dwm on Xorg or Xlibre and pretend Wayland doesn't exist, but the reality is that the vast majority of Linux distributions

Ah, got it! Thanks for clarifying. That makes a lot of sense.

I'm aware, I've been there since Xgl when Kristian Høgsberg worked on AIGLX. Wayland makes the current X model the default, it is X.

You're aware of the VM escape issues over the past decade? There's no perfect, and high overhead from running many guests can also create security risks. Wayland with all of its problems remains a logical step forward from the X m

Again, not true: if you want to take a screenshot in a generic way, you have to go through the XDG portal API, which is generic across all the compositors that support them, i.e. most of them.

Qubes OS achieves isolation by separating apps into VMs. Wayland does this at the display protocol level. If Qubes OS is serious about security, they should consider Wayland with containerization. It would result in a similar level of isola

> Wayland is the complete opposite of modular Not true. Wayland simply cuts out the middleman. Making the compositor the display server is one of the best things Wayland did. This brings so many advantages, such as true tear-free graphic

Wayland security is a side effect of how the core protocol works. In X, you have one giant buffer, while in Wayland, each application renders to its own buffer and pushes that buffer to the compositor when ready.
