@dougmerritt@mathstodon.xyz yes, the fact that compositors and window managers were so modular was definitely one of the nicest things about the X11 protocol — actually, I don’t know if compositors were even a thing in X11, I think all you had was DRM as an Xorg extension. I could be wrong though, I am not sure. Anyway, it has taken a over a decade, but it seems like most Linux desktop environments are finally ready to move over to Wayland now. I may switch back to Xfce after using Cinnamon for the past few years, just to see how Xfce managed to adapt.
