Alpine Linux begins work on Wayback |
 |
As much of the Linux community moves toward replacing the X.Org display software with Wayland implementations, it raises some questions for people who want to run applications (and even full desktop environments) which are not Wayland-compatible. The Alpine Linux team are working one one solution for users of X.Org-only desktops: "Wayback is an experimental X compatibility layer which allows for running full X desktop environments using Wayland components. It is essentially a stub compositor which provides just enough Wayland capabilities to host a rootful Xwayland server. It is intended to eventually replace the classic X.org server in Alpine, thus reducing maintenance burden of X applications in Alpine, but a lot of work needs to be done first." More information on Wayback can be found on its GitHub page.
