What does it do, that X11 does not? It's easier for developers to maintain and extend. X11 is a mass of crufty old code, vestigial organs whose functions have been taken over by other programs, and half-baked extensions, or so I'm told. It likely has multiple security holes hidden in the less-used codepaths. For 90% of users, Wayland shouldn't make much difference. The other 10% are going to have to find substitutes for features like display forwarding that X does but Wayland doesn't (and never will). Despite this, Wayland is likely to be adopted by all distros eventually because no one wants to maintain X anymore. Porting TDE to Wayland will likely require some work on QT3 first. Then on the window manager. I'm not sure if it affects other components. E.
