Maybe we should put a layer on top of wayland with all of the common stuff that DE uses funneled into common APIs. Like, all the eXtras DM needs

We could call it X-Wayland



You mean something like wlroots ?

Sway made it initially but others are using it too. https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wlroots/wlroots


XWayland already exists and is the name for X.org running on Wayland, to enable X11 apps to run on Wayland desktops.

You may be interested to learn about wl-roots though. It's a project that I think originated from sway, and it aims to provide most of the low-level plumbing for writing your own Wayland window manager/desktop environment.


I know, twas a joke


But others, less well informed than you, probably don't know about XWayland so the response is quite helpful.
