Wayland 与 X 背后的真实故事

X.Org developer Daniel Stone explains the history and technical limits of the X Window System and why Wayland was created, debunking myths from forum comments. He covers topics such as network transparency and blocking calls.

Why HN likes it: HN uses it as the go-to answer to claims that Wayland is unnecessary, from a developer who knew X's codebase well.

“It is quite fun and eye opening, he clearly knows his subject better than most of the comments.”
