Advanced firearms target touch in the first 5 range increments , not always . Which is an important distinction , since the longest range increment is 80 feet . <| sep |> Wayland devs think in use cases . You want screen recording ? That has to be added to the compositor instead of a seperate tool like in X 11 . A portable hotkey daemon ? Etc . Unlike the X 11 people who just built a solid framework that you can do whatever you ' d like with . You described the same thing in two different sounding ways . Let me fix thatX 11 is a sorta like a platform that any application can do whatever it likes with . Wayland is sorta like a platform that a compositer can do whatever it likes with , including allowing applications to do whatever they like with . The difference is , X 11 started out with a sort of kitchensink approach only for much of it to be ignored later like a good chunk of the font stuff , primitives , etc . whereas Wayland is starting out as a simple protocol and letting the compositors handle lots of the stuff that the WMs wound up handling under X 11 anyways .
