Enlightenment E19 To Have Full Wayland Support 140
An anonymous reader writes "Full Wayland support has been added to Enlightenment 0.19. Building upon earlier Wayland support, Enlightenment can now act as its own Wayland compositor by communicating directly with the kernel's DRM drivers instead of having to rely upon Weston. The Wayland support is still considered experimental but it's now the first Linux desktop with full Wayland support."
Quick README on building and using it.

Hawaii was the first, I think.

There is also a Wayland distro called Rebecca Black OS [sourceforge.net]. Although when I tested it last time, it was super glitchy and crashed all the time. It has been recently updated so it might be worth another shot.
Anyway, great to see the Wayland stuff rolling in.

Yes, the example is called Weston.

Most people only ever use X11 as a client and server on the same machine. You're living inside a bubble to think otherwise.
