KDE Saw More System Settings Work While EGLStreams KWin Support Stole The Show

You're confusing display servers and physical servers?

Yes indeed. Judging from the history of such conversations, it is unlikely any engagement in these conversations would change one's mind.

Wayland is fucked up by design and is for servers and not for desktops. Read the history of wayland.

Yes, because servers desperately needed a new display protocol.

[starshipeleven]

Maybe?. I was under the impression it was closely tied to the open-source device drivers.

It is for Mesa, which is the part of the opensource drivers that does the 3D job. Kernel drivers are just low-level hardware control and hardware-mesa communication.

The stupid security models that prevents normal desktop use are for server use.

Yes, we need to add more security to protocols in applications that won't even be installed in the server at all.

IBM and Intel develop server operating systems and that is why they adopted wayland.

Yes, because a graphical display and interface is a very important feature of any linux server.

Then i stand corrected. I thought GBM was a lightweight library over kernel code.

Linux is fucked up by design and is for 386 not modern systems. Read the history of Linux.

I'm doing a (free) operating system (just a hobby, won't be big and
professional like gnu) for 386(486) AT clones.

Good luck with that, the list of native wayland apps is really short.

That's great. Less things i need to remember to NOT install in a server.

Well, not only is that list 4 years outdated, it only covers applications under the GNOME umbrella.

I ran a Java application the other day and it ran natively on Wayland.
