    It will never be compatible with X because they are different designs. X relies on a central program (server) that accepts commands from programs. It is also a mess as it was built during the 80s for 80s hardware. It was expanded over time but you can only stretch the arch so far.

    Wayland doesn’t have a server. You desktop talks to the hardware and then the desktop accepts connections from apps.
