Wayland is already old architecture by today’s standards. It was designed in 2007 by the same people who did Xorg. Linux should have copied or ported the 2014 compositor version of Android (which is currently the one still used). The license was good for it, and its technology the most advanced (neither MacOS/iOS or Win comes close). But Linux users have allergy on anything coming from Google and so we ended up with Wayland.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
