X11 is a mess. Wayland is a mess.
Solution: Create a new standard (always works so well)
I present x12land
Because fuck it!
With that name we won't get anywhere! I propose we abandon x12land and start a new standard, w12!
How about systemd-windows?
Shush! Lennart might hear you!
If it would be a standard intented for Unix ideology and not business requirements of X11 (35+ years is a long time) or Wayland (RedHat is one company with its own interests, sometimes contradicting, say, mine as a Unix user), then it could work well.
X11 paradigm I like more than that of Wayland, but it could use some clearly incompatible changes.
Mir is there
Mir is wayland-based now :p
xkcd 927
damn you beat me to it
How, exactly, is Wayland a mess? It has a good legacy window compatibility layer and is solving a lot of problems X11 had. Seems perfectly alright to me.
Ehhh, any time I try a new distro I realize after a half dozen apps dont work, that its because its using wayland by default. X11 just works, wayland is a mess.
Let’s all use the WindowServer from SerenityOS!
Reject GUI, return to console
can't wait to try Blender in CLI
Framebuffer? Oh, but mouse... GPM? But it probably doesn't work in a framebuffer...
what's GPM ?
It's a mouse in console, essentially. A mouse in the tty
Browsh sadly is non-functional without a display server. It has no way to click on links.
