- jauntywundrkind 7mo agoYes exactly. DRM exists, but there's still what I called the X "kernel", all of it's heavyweight abstractions. To the previous a-hole, frak you: not an AI. That's rude as frak. Also, you manage to be incredibly wrong. Even an AI wouldn't overlook such an obvious error; maybe it'd be better to have it replace you. So rude dude! Behave!
- pmarin 7mo agoI am sorry if I mistaken you for a bot but the model you are describing have not been implenented by any graphic driver in decades.
- jauntywundrkind 7mo agoX's drivers still wrap the kernels drivers in its own abstraction layer. It's vastly deeper than what Wayland does.
- pmarin 7mo agoJust to be clear the hardware abstraction layer used by wayland and any current Xserver is exactly the same.
