And? Just because the linux ecosystem is fragmented doesn't mean that new software has to be, too.
The fact that developing a new compositor with wayland basically required wlroots to be even feasable for a one-man project is concerning enough. The amount of stuff you have to handle is insane compared to writing your own x-wm.
- customkitchen 4y agoThat's not a good comparison because it would be even harder to write your own X server. And yet X is still extremely fragmented. And developing a new compositor also does not require wlroots. Originally there was libweston, wlroots is just another option.
