Xorg – Wayland Transition Thoughts…
Some thoughts, details, resources on transitioning from Xorg to Wayland
Were there supposed to be "some thoughts, details and resources" posted here? at the moment its just a link to the wayland project logo.
I have no idea why this link did not appear... here is a retry on the material.

You can edit the post, y'know :P
~20min after the post went up, OP has posted no thoughts...
So I'll put in my own...
When I run Linux on a laptop, I tend to run Fluxbox, it uses a tiny ammount of screen real estate and is flexible snd nice to work with.
I am a bit sad that fluxbox won't be updated to wayland (at least not when I checked the last time), and I hope that waybox will be a good replacement.
Fluxbox... Now there's a name I haven't heard in a long time... Back in the days of wintel dialup modems I was trying out Linux as a teenager and trying to get modem support working to get the internet, and at one point I tried out a Linux distro, DSL (Damn small Linux) because it was set up to be installed and run from a USB flash drive with persistent storage on the drive I think. And the window manager of DSL? You guessed it, Fluxbox! Can't believe its still around.
Very insightful! /s
Eh, "it just werks" just like Xorg -- don't know why folks still make such fuzz regarding this subject.
t. Managed to install Sway on a single board computer with zero Linux support -- Orange pi zero 3.
