This is just malicious, ignorant and plain falss towards the Wayland developers (which is by the way a very diverse group), whom are by all chance waay more experienced than you are.
Also, fails to take into account that X has plenty of objective design failures, which is to be expected given GPUs didn't exist at the time of its invention.
- pjmlp 1y agoGPUs did exist, maybe not what we know them today but exist did they. Assuming that the entry https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X_Window_System https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X_Window_System is correct, the initial release was in 1984. Amiga 500 Blitter, which is a baby step into GPU would become, is from 1987. Texas Instruments TMS34010 was released in 1986, being the very first programmable graphics processor, going beyond DMA programable ones like the Amiga 500's Agnus. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TMS34010 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TMS34010 While these jurassic GPUs could not be taken into account for X Window 1.0 design, by the time of X11R6 release, it was more than enough time to have had them into account.
