@sun @feld imo if an application sniffs X11, it can do other things as well. either you can trust the software, or you don't.
another display server isn't the issue. arcan just does it's thing. the issue is how people involved in wayland behave. if the product is better, they wouldn't need to use oppressive tactics. it's the same with rust or haskell (and openbsd people who constantly shit talk linux, but that's my pet peeve).
this way they admit their product is shit. they behave like communists taking over successful businesses, putting the owners into a gulag, run the business into the ground and then use it as proof communism is good.
