I'm not familiar with Wayland, so I read the architecture article:
"Wayland is a complete window system in itself, but even so, if we're migrating away from X, it makes sense to have a good backwards compatibility story."

- skymt 16y agoI'd rather see Wayland implement the X protocol themselves rather than proxy to Xorg. Running X and Wayland simultaneously could have performance implications on older computers or netbooks, two of Ubuntu's biggest targets.
- loewenskind 16y agoWhy would running two systems help performance. A better designed system that doesn't have to have network transparency code paths should be able to run faster than X and Linux applications are written in Qt or GTK anyway. Port those two and call it done.
- skymt 16y agoSorry, I wasn't clear: running X alongside Wayland would hurt performance (at least in RAM-critical environments).
