I'm not sure what you mean by 'not portable' you can have X server on Windows..
And 'Wayland' export is even worse as it depends on whether the Wayland compositor support the export or not, AFAIK Weston is the only one which currently have an export display backend.
I think that you're suggesting to "stack" compositor to avoid this issue (not a new idea), I hope that this is what will happen eventually..
- qznc 12y agoI believe he meant sessions being portable across devices. You cannot start a X application on your laptop, disconnect, switch to your desktop, continue using the application. (At least, it does not easily work out of the box. Allegedly it is possible in certain scenarios.) VNC and other on-top approaches can do this (even with Wayland).
