    Wayland architecture

    So how does Wayland compare to rio (Plan 9 from Bell Labs), Quartz (OS X), Aero/DWM (Windows) ?

          It's a Lenovo thinkpad running Weston with the DRM backend, on native Linux.

          I'm sending this from a MacBook Air running Debian, again native and not under OS X at all. It runs either X11 or the Weston DRM backend.

            Writing Linux related code/apps on Mac OS X decreases the quality of code by 68.7%. Fact. And i have numbers to prove it.


            On a serious note is there anything in wayland that prevents the porting of full DEs on it??

              I do not believe so. Most DE's have their own compositor, so they will either need to port the DE to use Weston, or port their X11 compositor to Wayland.

              The DE wars appear to have taken such a toll on the FOSS ecosystem that I honestly cannot anticipate what will come of all of this.

                Some GTK 3 apps run natively, (some segfault because they have some x11 stuff coded in the app)

                I was also able to get the KDELIBS frameworks samples to work on qt5 with the native Wayland backend (on the livecd) but I'm sure once I figure out how, I could complie kde-baseapps

                ...I think the biggest issue right now is I don't think all window managment features exist in Wayland/weston right now...

                EDIT: well the universal wlshm "driver" for the nested xwayland server could use some work, it's why xwayland apps appear glitchy

                  Elaborate.

                    I think things like raising/lowering keepabove/keepbehind and like focus prevention...

A sad day indeed it will be, oh God of Wayland have mercy on us, the ones that don't want to reboot after an upgrade and stare into the black abyss of the terminal screen because of incompatible drivers and bugs!
                      Nono, you got it wrong, Ubuntu will remove terminals too in favor of Wayland. So if wayland fails, you don't get a text console even.
