Wayback is a new Wayland compositor that implements the X11 window manager API on top of a single rootful XWayland session: https://www.phoronix.com/news/Wayback-X11-Wayland . XMonad should run fine inside it. This gives you the advantage of Wayland's modern display stack and no legacy Xorg code while still running a classic X11 window manager. The main downside is you have to run all X11-compatible apps, it's unable to manage any Wayland-native applications. But, X11 apps aren't going away any time soon, just the display server. | ||

> no legacy Xorg code This is not accurate. It runs quite a lot of legacy Xorg code actually, just without the input and video drivers. | ||

The Wayback stuff is super cool. How has it not hit the front page? I see the previous submissions, but there's just crickets in the comments. | ||
