Okay, Wayland is the future, blah blah.

Would it be possible/make sense to make a Wayland compositor that would emulate a X11 server so a X11 WM could talk to it and be used to manage windows?

I’m just thinking about how we could make sure that the tons of obscure but cool WMs survive the waypocalypse.

    TDE has had occasional discussion and ruminations, but no action yet. Porting it is complicated by the fact that it has its own widget set (TQT, forked from QT3), which would have to be worked on first and is currently undergoing some unrelated rewriting.

    The likelihood of any wayland milestones for TDE being set before the end of 2024 is very low unless some major distro completely drops X support.
