It had to sacrifice the guarantee of all desktop app functionality being present to achieve that.<br/><br/>The idea (as I see it) was never to have 500 desktop compositors all trying to reimplement the same thing with slight differences. Iinstead, it was for 500 different interfaces for different platforms that are compatible with the same apps (e.g. desktop, laptop, phone, car screens, AR/VR, watch). Different form factors have totally different ways of dealing with interface, but share enough common features where it makes sense to have 1 base protocol and many other ones for device/form specific features.<br/><br/>Problem is, while in 2008-2016 we had a ton of new experimental UIs coming out on a semi-regular basis (that was the peak of the whole convergent phone/tablet craze, smartwatches started, fancy car UI, touch tables, early AR/VR) things have quieted down. The purpose of Wayland&#39;s insane modularity hasn&#39;t been visible to most people given it&#39;s almost always complained about in a desktop contest vs X11. But X11 was literally only designed for a desktop form factor and has been refined for that 1 purpose for decades!<br/><br/>As an example of different form factors, Wayland lets IVI (in-vehicle infotainment) systems work way better than Xorg could have. Desktop window layouting on that platform would inherently produce massive amounts of unnecessary complexity, and the ability to direct scanout saves on power/expensive compute. Automotive Grade Linux and COVESA maintain reference interfaces for cars so companies can iterate a ton faster. Wayland gives the app compatibility and they can make the system UI work with more flexibility and ease than an X11 window manager. <br/><br/>Take Linux Mobile too, the compositor can reliably enforce window layout and boundaries and composition. While this could technically be done with an X window manager and compositor, doing it with Wayland guarantees reliability as the app simply doesn&#39;t have a choice or room for error. Some things like drag and drop of toolbars doesn&#39;t make much sense on mobile given how small the screens are.<br/><br/>There&#39;s some interfaces where X11 is basically impossible to use. In AR/VR (where i am making a Wayland compositor) the concept of a screen simply does not exist. How is an app supposed to position itself when the very concept of 3D is not part of the protocol? In Wayland I don&#39;t have to implement the protocols that don&#39;&#39;t work (e.g. layer shell) and therefore any apps that don&#39;t need it will be compatible..<br/><br/>Wayland has allowed for insane levels of flexibility, things that no other display server architecture can do reasonably. Total flexibility between app and screen, direct scanout without hacks, AR/VR support, etc.<br/><br/>Here&#39;s some fun and useful stuff that&#39;s been done with Wayland, stuff that X11 could never reasonably do:&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;LG Smart TV UI: &lt;a href=&#34;<a href="https://youtu.be/4cmYCK9PBkM&#34">https://youtu.be/4cmYCK9PBkM&#34</a>; target=&#34;_blank&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow noopener&#34; translate=&#34;no&#34;&gt;&lt;span class=&#34;invisible&#34;&gt;<a href="https://&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span">https://&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span</a> class=&#34;&#34;&gt;youtu.be/4cmYCK9PBkM&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&#34;invisible&#34;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Multiple user collaboration on touch tables with arbitrary rotation: &lt;a href=&#34;<a href="https://youtu.be/8xtjJTJAQsY&#34">https://youtu.be/8xtjJTJAQsY&#34</a>; target=&#34;_blank&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow noopener&#34; translate=&#34;no&#34;&gt;&lt;span class=&#34;invisible&#34;&gt;<a href="https://&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span">https://&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span</a> class=&#34;&#34;&gt;youtu.be/8xtjJTJAQsY&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&#34;invisible&#34;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;AR/VR apps running in windows and volumes at the same time, all interactable back in 2014 (eat your heart out magic leap and apple): &lt;a href=&#34;<a href="https://github.com/evil0sheep/motorcar&#34">https://github.com/evil0sheep/motorcar&#34</a>; target=&#34;_blank&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow noopener&#34; translate=&#34;no&#34;&gt;&lt;span class=&#34;invisible&#34;&gt;<a href="https://&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span">https://&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span</a> class=&#34;&#34;&gt;github.com/evil0sheep/motorcar&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&#34;invisible&#34;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Presentation slides that were themselves a Wayland compositor written in Qt and QML so therefore allowed fully interactive live demos in an integrated form factor with a very popular and easy to code UI framework: &lt;a href=&#34;<a href="https://youtu.be/mIg1P3i2ZfI&#34">https://youtu.be/mIg1P3i2ZfI&#34</a>; target=&#34;_blank&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow noopener&#34; translate=&#34;no&#34;&gt;&lt;span class=&#34;invisible&#34;&gt;<a href="https://&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span">https://&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span</a> class=&#34;&#34;&gt;youtu.be/mIg1P3i2ZfI&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&#34;invisible&#34;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Cosmic panels are actually Wayland compositors, meaning widgets can draw literally anything from any toolkit in any language.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;<br/><br/>Now, could Wayland devs maybe have distributed features across protocols better? Worked with app toolkit devs to ensure the protocols they made actually fit what the apps and compositors needed? Stopped bikeshedding (though imo many cases of &#34;bikeshedding&#34; are simply accounting for other form factors)? Absolutely!<br/><br/>My point here is simple: there was a reason for making it this modular, for not having a standard implementation. It wasn&#39;t just devs trying to impose some ideology, it wasn&#39;t some corporate takeover. It&#39;s good reasons that people using X11 on their desktop/laptop don&#39;t encounter. If we made something that wasn&#39;t universal, most apps wouldn&#39;t be compatible with it and therefore everything but the desktop form factor would lack apps. 2025-07-29T07:06:20Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsqm85svmz9xjd73chpuy02ux0ywqgme4mkfqq6ku9adrlyfavdl6czypxfvyftks2p52tr6gjy54ufqakmj3rlkxv8uy4jrx9hpmrmw4zhsaj0smv In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqstans9ch9rvy8aw4kdqzmwq3maz8gvyngf2nwg0e9gs8r3ejnmq8sdrq54v'>nevent1q…q54v</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>binder is now in the mainline kernel so every Linux has it 2025-07-22T20:43:58Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqstfjhpt99wlhp8aepcl8p77rz3sgmuqlm4x6n0uad579agxzwjf7szypxfvyftks2p52tr6gjy54ufqakmj3rlkxv8uy4jrx9hpmrmw4zhscs28kh In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsfgv5eyshf5mhyukerw4ez4ugdhlrah8wmu8eddk02cy07u4r0qaqeyhm65'>nevent1q…hm65</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>what do you think of binder? 2025-07-22T19:23:16Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsd3zeggku7edm9nw7wxv2z2yvm4nt7z26l3ptaln9tlq2n6259e7gzypxfvyftks2p52tr6gjy54ufqakmj3rlkxv8uy4jrx9hpmrmw4zhs57fknx In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsydl0z40c6jxaz6dhtg9ml4h7lexff4whl7t25fgqvmfyferuwzngdekstz'>nevent1q…kstz</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>i know, it&#39;s just i figured if the spec allows for data transport across services (like, posts with videos that are vertical map great to short form video) so you could use 1 app to post those and your followers would see it on loops... like the idea being that the content underneath is the same but the interface could be different?<br/><br/>idk, maybe it&#39;s just a bad idea... but at the very least i really appreciate being able to follow a ton of people from 1 place and i wish i could post stuff so everyone in every place can see it. 2025-01-14T21:09:09Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsgnr08ayyt8s74zslkcktkkf8ffrqj65atkmncf8mmtuw72mxfggszypxfvyftks2p52tr6gjy54ufqakmj3rlkxv8uy4jrx9hpmrmw4zhs7pgew5 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs2rzvlwfle7ph6fj574p3hh03cd8sgmv8h4ujz7jatfd440rzlq3syt6e30'>nevent1q…6e30</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>ok got it so it&#39;s interoperable fragmentation... still makes a mess and i really wish there was a way to link accounts together and all.
