No worries, you will be able to run X on top of Wayland.
Quoting from https://wayland.freedesktop.org/faq.html#heading_toc_j_8 https://wayland.freedesktop.org/faq.html#heading_toc_j_8 :
"This doesn't mean that remote rendering won't be possible with Wayland, it just means that you will have to put a remote rendering server on top of Wayland. One such server could be the X.org server, but other options include an RDP server, a VNC server or somebody could even invent their own new remote rendering model. Which is a feature when you think about it; layering X.org on top of Wayland has very little overhead, but the other types of remote rendering servers no longer requires X.org, and experimenting with new protocols is easier."
No, the irony is not lost on me.
- Spivak 9y agoIt seems like they don't want people to use X on top of Wayland but are trying to assure people that a distro shipping Wayland wont break their ability to ssh -X.
- pmoriarty 9y agoCan anyone who currently runs X on top of Wayland comment on how ready it is for daily desktop use? If I installed Wayland and ran X on top of it today, would it be as stable and feature-rich as a standalone xorg server?
