X.Org Server Clears Out Remnants For Supporting Old Compilers

That's xwayland server. xwayland itself has existed since at least 2012. That's like saying that Coca Cola came out in 1985 because that's when they started selling cherry Coca Cola.



Nothing there says anything about vulnerability fixes so you're back to talking out of your ass.

Well... At least you're being consistent...

Of course it existed before it was released. how do you think releases happen?

The point is that the Wayland protocol itself *should* support his hardware

The protocol does. Particular implementations allegedly have issues with his hardware.

As far as I'm aware, Wayland compositors actually use more RAM than X11 setup.

Your awareness is incorrect. A fully wayland stack removes all the legacy stuff - including a separate server process - that an Xorg-based stack has.

including a separate server process - that an Xorg-based stack has.

This isn't a "good thing", its a downgrade for hardware that only has one or two compute cores, such as was ubiquitous 15 years ago when wayland was initially released but basically none existent now, even the cheapest $1 arm cores are quad core now.

What a fun read 😂
