I think it's safe to assume that it is actually simpler, given that we already have multiple Wayland implementations, but still basically just the one X11 server implementation. Can one or more of those implementations shave off one or two milliseconds overs the next 40 years... Probably yes.
- somat 2y agoSure, on linux all you really have is xorg, what used to be xfree86, but I have used xsgi, and there are X servers for windows, heck, I have even seen this amazing demo Xserver that ran on the web. footnote: there is something wrong with the commonly used web search engines and I am unable to find that X11 web demo, I think they are prioritizing recent content over good content. you would think with how interesting that web demo was it was it would show up right away. but I got nothing, so no links. Anyway it was a deep dive into the intricacies of X11 window painting and the author had ported a limited subset of an X server to javascript in order to provide a live demonstration of the topic. I will keep looking. Found it. https://magcius.github.io/xplain/article/x-basics.html https://magcius.github.io/xplain/article/x-basics.html
