“A few days ago I theorized that Mark Shuttleworth’s move to
Unity on Wayland was an effort to focus his operating system more
on mobile devices and, ultimately, cloud-based services. Unity’s
hardware compatibility is limited in range, at least for now, and
Wayland is even moreso, again at least for now. But there’s one
part of the equation I failed to consider. What about the
X11-dependent Compiz?“One of the more intriguing aspects of Wayland is that it does
away with window managers. Instead it pushes all of the work of
managing windows to the application.”
