Those are not lies. I don't think you know what you are talking about. If you knew, you would know that waypipe + xwayland-satellite works even for forwarding X11 clients over waypipe. I use it myself every day, but it's pointless to discuss it with someone who isn't interested in listening, only in spreading the same lies as everyone else.

Sorry, how was your comment "Wayland is an evolution of the previous design. X11's architecture had clients sending drawing commands to the X server, a method that became limited and required extensions over time. Wayland's approach is: applications perform their own rendering into their own separate buffers, then tell the compositor when they are ready. The compositor takes those buffers to produce the final image." not highly misleading, if X had the composite extension in 2004 and Wayland project was started in 2008? Last time I tried waypipe it did not work and its design seems flawed as it has to have hard-coded knowledge about each protocol used on the wire.

I apologize for my previous misleading comments. You're right, Wayland causes many problems. As a long time Linux user, I miss how capable X was and don't want to see it go. Wayland compositors feel like toys in comparison, and its advocates sometimes seem to be coping. However, with major DEs and toolkits dropping X11 support, what options do we truly have?
