Next display server protocol proposal that would succeed Wayland has been just announced:

Every GUI elements require 3D graphics API and live ray tracing because it looks "cool" and "awesome".
Screen buffer won't get pushed to the display unless it's been perfectly ray traced, not missing every spot.

Users are required to enter their password everytime an application calls the drawing API to prevent unauthorized memory modification.

The mouse cursor is delayed about 10 seconds because the floaty feeling is the "future". It will also follow your hand movement with a 500ms interpolation curve to enhance elegantness.

    Wasn't that Windows Vita? ... minus the ray tracking part. I think everything post Windows 7 uses a composer of some kind now.

    On my main Gentoo box I was having crashing issues on my amdgpu (machine was still running but screen would totally freeze on one image. The mouse cursor still worked and I could click on something like a video and hear it play, but screen updates were frozen unless I SSHed in and restarted the display manager).

    Just switched it over to xlibre from xorg. No crashes or issues for well over a week now! I really do think xlibre is the future of Linux display. Once they get HDR support in and get it implemented in VLC and mpv, it's pretty much over for Wayland.
