Maybe X11 just doesn’t have the right abstractions. As an example, to this day iOS uses mostly server-side rendering with API basically unchanged for 10 years.

- sprash 7y agoX11 can do all that. If all else fails you can use GLX to blend some textures together or animate them. The problem is more that there are to many different ways to achieve the same thing. A clean up would indeed be nice but Wayland is exactly the wrong answer.
