@bleistift2 @addie Wayland will be the only display server, it's impossible to deny it, for example KDE defaults to Wayland & Gnome is 100% detached from X11, the deletion of X11 is coming in the future
plus, X11 is full of spaghetti code and no one, and I mean no one, supports it anymore, Wayland came to correct that, plus if you have a laptop with a hybrid GPU, you must switch manually between for example Nvidia & Intel, on Wayland everything is done automatically, etc

Wayland isn't a display server, it is a protocol. There is no source code for Wayland only a set of standards.

if you have a laptop with a hybrid GPU

That is something I really care about. Thanks!

[Edit: I just checked. Something is handling the switch automatically on my system]
