I expect attack vectors to be equal or less than X. Also consider what I wrote instead of repeating the same mantra of full root access.

- mort96 8y agoI don't quite understand. A rouge root user in X can just replace the /usr/bin/X binary with their own version which records the screen and logs user input or does whatever they want the next time the user restarts X, or better yet, install a kernel module of their own and have arbitrary code running in ring 0. What exact attack vectors do you see in X which you don't see in Wayland, which actually makes a difference and isn't completely overshadowed by all the other things a root user can do?
