They went that way for a reason, though. All the Xorg window managers (Mutter, KWin, etc) largely became behemoth projects in their own right to fill holes in X that could not be easily fixed universally. Since those projects were already faux display managers the X devs that started Wayland wanted to avoid that duplication again.
- shmerl 6y agoI get the reason, but it doesn't help that spreading of the effort slowed down the progress almost to a crawl. There is still no adaptive sync in KWin on Wayland and it's not going to appear soon as far as I understand.
