@techokami@woof.tech @zzt@mas.to @mxchara@cyberpunk.lol I have zero interest in Wayland... It seems nearly all downside to me. I think the compositor approach is wrongheaded anyway, if we're gonna redo X11 we should be moving towards server-side widgets; no reason why clicking a button or editing a text field should involve multiple transactions between server and app!

@kitten_tech@fosstodon.org @techokami@woof.tech @zzt@mas.to @mxchara@cyberpunk.lol this is why good X11 widget toolkits (like motif) make individual sub-windows for their UI elements, so that events are sent directly to the right handler by X, and individual windows or panels or buttons can be repainted with minimal interference
