SUSE Labs Conference 2018 - Future of SUSE Linux graphics stack
Channel: SUSE Labs
Date: 2018-09-18

For decades, UNIX and Linux graphics has been dominated by the X protocol. It is standardized, stable and widespread. However, it has become a dead end for new development. Wayland is now taking over the Linux desktop and has even found its way into SLE already.

This talk summarizes the deficiencies of X.org as well as Wayland, adding a proposed way to get the best of both worlds by reviving the idea of a Wayland system compositor.
