    Then the problem is that it’s abandoned, not that it has stagnated

    By all means, feel free to start working on it!

    All the people who developed Xorg for 20+ years decided that creating and working on Wayland was a better use of their time. But I’m sure you know better…

    The problem isn’t that Xorg is spaghetti code (it’s pretty good for a large C project, imho). The problem is that the X11 protocol was designed to expose the capabilities of 1980s display hardware.

      Wayland will become a spaghetti too, unless you do “compositorhop” because one compositor is not complete and need to use another, idk if this would be a good idea

        You said that Xorg being abandoned is the problem. How should we interpret that, other than a criticism of the decision-making process of the devs?
