    This is AI-generated nonsense. It makes 100x more sense to write a greenfield reimplimentation of the Xorg display server but you wouldn't know that asking an LLM to copy Wayland's design principles.

      Thanks for the comment. Just to clarify: the text was originally written in another language and I used an AI tool only to translate it because my English is not good enough for long technical writing. The ideas and arguments are my own, not generated by the model.

      I’m not advocating copying Wayland or rejecting a greenfield implementation. My point was simply that a protocol‑first approach deserves to be part of the discussion, especially for use cases that Wayland intentionally doesn’t target.
