Problem with your suggestion is that Wayland won't be around in 15 years while Xorg will still be km kicking.

- bitwize 7y agoWhat makes you think that? The maintainers of both Wayland and Xorg have chosen to take Xorg behind the barn and shoot it.
- rleigh 7y agoThat's not the germane point. There are applications dating back over 30 years written for X11. Thousands upon thousands of them. Compatibility matters. Wayland may turn out to be a flash in the pan. Those applications aren't going away. I have many open source and proprietary applications which I fully intend to carry on using. They don't, and won't, support Wayland. Unless you're using a modern toolkit which will be modified to support Wayland, you're not going to be using Wayland in a hurry. Because you'll be tied into the X11 world.
