I want to defend Wayland here and explain a crucial piece that I think people are missing...
The splitting of protocols in Wayland and compositor reimplementation were to allow for new form factors. It had to sacrifice the guarantee of all desktop app functionality being present to achieve that.
The idea (as I see it) was never to have 500 desktop compositors all trying to reimplement the same thing with slight differences. Iinstead, it was for 500 different interfaces for different platforms that are compatible with the same apps (e.g. desktop, laptop, phone, car screens, AR/VR, watch). Different form factors have totally different ways of dealing with interface, but share enough common features where it makes sense to have 1 base protocol and many other ones for device/form specific features.
Problem is, while in 2008-2016 we had a ton of new experimental UIs coming out on a semi-regular basis (that was the peak of the whole convergent phone/tablet craze, smartwatches started, fancy car UI, touch tables, early AR/VR) things have quieted down. The purpose of Wayland's insane modularity hasn't been visible to most people given it's almost always complained about in a desktop contest vs X11. But X11 was literally only designed for a desktop form factor and has been refined for that 1 purpose for decades!
As an example of different form factors, Wayland lets IVI (in-vehicle infotainment) systems work way better than Xorg could have. Desktop window layouting on that platform would inherently produce massive amounts of unnecessary complexity, and the ability to direct scanout saves on power/expensive compute. Automotive Grade Linux and COVESA maintain reference interfaces for cars so companies can iterate a ton faster. Wayland gives the app compatibility and they can make the system UI work with more flexibility and ease than an X11 window manager.
Take Linux Mobile too, the compositor can reliably enforce window layout and boundaries and composition. While this could technically be done with an X window manager and compositor, doing it with Wayland guarantees reliability as the app simply doesn't have a choice or room for error. Some things like drag and drop of toolbars doesn't make much sense on mobile given how small the screens are.
There's some interfaces where X11 is basically impossible to use. In AR/VR (where i am making a Wayland compositor) the concept of a screen simply does not exist. How is an app supposed to position itself when the very concept of 3D is not part of the protocol? In Wayland I don't have to implement the protocols that don''t work (e.g. layer shell) and therefore any apps that don't need it will be compatible..
Wayland has allowed for insane levels of flexibility, things that no other display server architecture can do reasonably. Total flexibility between app and screen, direct scanout without hacks, AR/VR support, etc.
Here's some fun and useful stuff that's been done with Wayland, stuff that X11 could never reasonably do:
- LG Smart TV UI: youtu.be/4cmYCK9PBkM
- Multiple user collaboration on touch tables with arbitrary rotation: youtu.be/8xtjJTJAQsY
- AR/VR apps running in windows and volumes at the same time, all interactable back in 2014 (eat your heart out magic leap and apple): github.com/evil0sheep/motorcar
- Presentation slides that were themselves a Wayland compositor written in Qt and QML so therefore allowed fully interactive live demos in an integrated form factor with a very popular and easy to code UI framework: youtu.be/mIg1P3i2ZfI
- Cosmic panels are actually Wayland compositors, meaning widgets can draw literally anything from any toolkit in any language.
Now, could Wayland devs maybe have distributed features across protocols better? Worked with app toolkit devs to ensure the protocols they made actually fit what the apps and compositors needed? Stopped bikeshedding (though imo many cases of "bikeshedding" are simply accounting for other form factors)? Absolutely!
My point here is simple: there was a reason for making it this modular, for not having a standard implementation. It wasn't just devs trying to impose some ideology, it wasn't some corporate takeover. It's good reasons that people using X11 on their desktop/laptop don't encounter. If we made something that wasn't universal, most apps wouldn't be compatible with it and therefore everything but the desktop form factor would lack apps.

Corporate Governance in Singapore: A Practical Guide for Directors and Shareholders
Corporate governance is the framework that ensures a business remains resilient and trustworthy. In Singapore, it's a critical requirement, underpinned by strict regulations and high standards. But it doesn't have to be daunting. For directors, shareholders, or those managing a company, governance is about clear decision-making, accountability, and proper documentation.
Here's a straightforward guide to the essentials.
Governance: Structure for Accountability
Good governance is more than just meeting legal requirements—it's about establishing a system where decisions are made transparently and responsibly. In Singapore, the Companies Act outlines the minimum obligations, but private companies need more than basic filings. They require clear roles, regular oversight, and meticulous records to stay on track.
Corporate secretarial services are crucial here. Beyond filing annual returns, they manage vital tasks like documenting resolutions, maintaining minutes, and tracking share movements, ensuring your company's legal foundation is secure.
Directors: Embrace Your Role
Being a director in Singapore carries significant legal responsibilities. You're required to act in the company's best interest, stay informed, and make decisions with care. Failing to understand your duties or signing documents without review can expose you to personal liability for compliance issues or disputes.
Corporate secretarial services help reduce these risks. They ensure board meetings are properly organized, decisions are recorded, and legal obligations are met, allowing directors to focus on strategy while staying compliant.
Shareholders: Protect Your Rights
Shareholders, whether active or passive, rely on governance to safeguard their interests. Transparency in ownership, access to accurate information, and clear processes for major decisions—like share issuance or company sales—are essential, especially in family businesses or startups.
Secretarial services support this by maintaining the share registry, tracking ownership changes, and ensuring resolutions are properly documented. These records provide clarity and fairness, critical for resolving disputes or facilitating transactions.
Documenting Decisions Is Essential
A good decision isn't enough—you need to prove how it was made. Detailed board minutes and records show who was involved, what was discussed, and what risks were considered. This protects your company during audits, legal challenges, or investor reviews.
Corporate secretarial services handle these details, from preparing meeting notices to filing resolutions accurately. This ensures your records are organized and ready, preventing issues during compliance checks or due diligence.
Transparency Builds Trust
Singapore's business environment is built on trust, which stems from transparency. Internally, this means ensuring directors and shareholders have the information they need. Externally, it means maintaining accurate filings and clear records to satisfy regulators and stakeholders.
Secretarial services make this process seamless, tracking deadlines and ensuring filings are correct. They don't make decisions for you, but they ensure those decisions are transparent and accountable.
Governance That Fits Your Business
Governance should align with your company's size and structure. A small startup doesn't need the same processes as a large corporation, but every business needs accountability. Tailor principles like clarity, fairness, and responsibility to your needs. Keep records clear, seek advice when uncertain, and document key decisions carefully.
Final Word
In Singapore, corporate governance is the cornerstone of a trusted business. It's not just about compliance—it's about building a company that lasts. With corporate secretarial services, you can meet legal requirements, protect your stakeholders, and focus on growth with confidence.
