Re: Wayland 1.0 Officially Released said by howardfine:said by Maxo:The X network protocol is quite expensive making it mostly useless over the Internet.
As one who uses it every time I'm on the road, I argue that's not true. More importantly, X can do it. Wayland cannot. Agreed. I do this all the time on both my LAN and over the Internet. The great thing about it is that it allows you to run graphical programs on headless machines that aren't even running X themselves. I do this with my MythTV backend all the time. I'd miss it for sure. |

Wayland does not replace X, it replaces the display module of the X server that communicates between client and compositor. Pictures above for those having trouble reading that sentence over the last 2 years.

What pictures are you referring to?

Yours.
This may help as well, it has pictures and a video:

And this, which explains nicely how Wayland is designed to be alongside X, not replacing it; it also dives into the "Intel only" problem (no pics or vids, sorry):
