| Wayland is a communication protocol that can replace a display server such as Xorg. It differs from Xorg in several important ways. | ||
|
|
||
| First, Wayland is only a protocol that acts as an intermediary between clients using a mechanism which removes the dependency on an X server. | ||
| Xorg includes both the X11 protocol, used to run remote displays, and the X server, used to accept connections and display windows. | ||
| Under Wayland, the compositor or window manager provides the display server instead of a traditional X server. | ||
| Since Wayland is not an X server, traditional X screen connections will need to utilize other methods such as VNC or RDP for remote desktop management. | ||
| Second, Wayland can manage composite communications between clients and a compositor as a separate entity which does not need to support the X protocols. |

Oops, that didn't work. What I was suggesting is to revert proposed changes to the README entirely.
The current state of the PR damages the tree by changing the blame for line 9.
EDIT: and please don't credit me, I absolutely did not coauthor any of this.
