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.

X11 is a mess. Wayland is a mess.
Solution: Create a new standard (always works so well)
I present x12land
Because fuck it!
With that name we won't get anywhere! I propose we abandon x12land and start a new standard, w12!
How about systemd-windows?
Shush! Lennart might hear you!
Mir is there
Mir is wayland-based now :p
If it would be a standard intented for Unix ideology and not business requirements of X11 (35+ years is a long time) or Wayland (RedHat is one company with its own interests, sometimes contradicting, say, mine as a Unix user), then it could work well.
X11 paradigm I like more than that of Wayland, but it could use some clearly incompatible changes.

damn you beat me to it
How, exactly, is Wayland a mess? It has a good legacy window compatibility layer and is solving a lot of problems X11 had. Seems perfectly alright to me.
Ehhh, any time I try a new distro I realize after a half dozen apps dont work, that its because its using wayland by default. X11 just works, wayland is a mess.
Let’s all use the WindowServer from SerenityOS!
Reject GUI, return to console
can't wait to try Blender in CLI
Framebuffer? Oh, but mouse... GPM? But it probably doesn't work in a framebuffer...
what's GPM ?
It's a mouse in console, essentially. A mouse in the tty

TUI goes brrr
Browsh sadly is non-functional without a display server. It has no way to click on links.
