@rl_dane@polymaths.social @dougmerritt@mathstodon.xyz @AmenZwa@mathstodon.xyz @synlogic4242@social.vivaldi.net My key problem with Wayland is that it's so pathetically unoptimistic. It does less than X11 & doesn't improve on the model in any way. They don't know the problem space and the existing solutions. Look at Plan 9. It uses Rio. It really follows the UNIX model . Everything is a file. Every window is a directory in the filesystem. Text files contain the coordinates and size and title. To open a window on another computer over the network, reach into its filesystem and create the folder there. That's the UNIX way to do it. Look at Arcan. It brings the graphics right into the shell. You can `cat` a graphics file to the console. You can monitor progress graphically at the shell. It knows about 3D and networking and so on natively.
