why use some incomplete meme when x just works
Wayland

If I remember correctly Gnome and KDE use it already independent of what distro you're on, retard.
Ubuntu corp (TM) first tried to develop their own incompatible Wayland which turned out to be a total clusterfuck, so they too switched to Wayland.

It doesn't just work. It's slow as fuck and extremely inefficient. Wayland is a protocol.
It doesn't add any component. It just specifies how the program can talk directly to the window manager, so GNUfags can throw X into the paper bin because it's useless and does nothing anymore apart from giving the frame to the window manager.
AND FOR THE LAST TIME: X IS NOT NETWORK TRANSPARENT ANYMORE! SO YOU CAN SHUT UP ABOUT THAT.
The people working on Wayland are mostly people who formerly worked on shrinking Xbloat.

can I run a gui program over ssh with wayland?
can I run an entire XFCE/LXDE/etc session over the network with wayland?

if its good then distros will switch to it when its stable. no good distro would make some buggy and incomplete thing the default

Ive used gnome with wayland for like 1-2 years now and it's pretty good, originally tried it out because I couldn't get rid of screen tearing with x. Haven't noticed any issues with it

If you install gnome in debian stretch through the installer iso it uses wayland afaik
