Wayland works perfectly, except for when it doesn't

Wayland, the display server protocol for Linux, functions well in most cases but has notable exceptions, according to a commenter on a tech forum. The commenter suggests that technical documentation is often restricted to contractors under NDA, and that the functional differences between Wayland and X11 are related to Linux IPC, allowing migration between them. They also characterize the situation as an example of 'Embrace Extend Extinguish.'

You sound like an LLM, not a criticism just an observation. “This is because” I think the cause here is just human nature or a product of basic logic/debate. Right, the people with the technical specs/docs are all suits under contract. There were some people under NDA, but my assumption is they have all been hired. I wouldn’t say that everyone else is stuck in the dark. The functional differences are all related to Linux IPC, so we have all the tools to migrate a Wayland Compositor into an X11 Server… That is Xlibre can copy anything it doesn’t have under the guise of needing it to write a Wayland Compositor. I’m not sure there is anything more to comment on, I’ve already rejected the idea of bringing anything not germane into the conversation. Though yes, this is an example of Embrace Extend Extinguish.
