   @mirabilos @navi well, wayland compositors can work with basically just a framebuffer (in fact done in practice on phones with terribly bad drivers).
   
   Of course horrors like gnome probably won't work, but that's been the case regardless for like 10 years.

     @lanodan i don't get why bring up x11 here at all, since i'm pretty sure i've mentioned to @mirabilos before that wlroots supports pixman, so any wlroots based compositor can run fairly well on software, and if any toolkit works on software-only x11, it'll work on software-only wayland with shm buffers
     
     and yes such setup could not run my stupid external-compositing-via-shaders idea, but i doubt such setup can run compositing on x11 well either
