This is the best explanation of display servers and windows managers I’ve watched! Great video.

Minor note, over a year later, initramfs loads the root file system. It loads first in case a problem disrupts that sequence (that's why it has itsown mini-toolkit/environment.

thank you

Dawg now i understand why since i stopped using wayland my pc stopped freezing forcing me to cut off electricity on the entire pc just to reboot...

so what's the different between linux and windows in these area?

The only annoying thing in wayland is vsync is forced on for everything, so the vsync setting in video games litterally does nothing. Vsync should be enabled for windows and desktop applications, but its annoying it doesnt allow easy changing of vsync of games or 3D applications

I use X11 because network transparency and accessibility and automation are important, and Wayland sacrificed those things to solve problems I don't have. I could list many examples if youtube's filter would let me, but it blocks long comments... so I'll try to describe just one. I have a bunch of computers, including desktops, notebooks, and servers. I rely on being able to use all of them regardless of where I am or which hardware is in front of me. With X11 I can mix and match freely, but Wayland is designed to prevent that because it's considered unnecessary and a security risk. Like, if I'm at my desk I have a desktop and two notebooks, so I use the desktop's mouse and keyboard for all three, simply moving the cursor off the edge of one screen and onto the next, using a trivial little program called x2x. But frequently I'll grab a notebook to go elsewhere, like a cafe or the loo or a client meeting or even just the living room couch. I can still use every computer, either by exporting a running session as a remote desktop, or running individual programs over the network for remote display, or simply moving the cursor to any screens which happen to be nearby. It all "just works" easily and reliably, even for servers with no screen or keyboard attached. When doing local stuff it's a smooth 60fps with no perceptible lag, and when remote, things are slower but still very usable. But Wayland doesn't do that. In a time when nearly everything in computing is getting more flexible, more interoperable, and more network-transparent... Wayland strives to go in the opposite direction. With Wayland, I can't even use my notebooks while I'm at my desk.

Fantastic series. Needs more views. Liking and commenting for algorithm

I ran into problems with wayland being unable to drag and drop archive contents to my file explorer when extracting... but on x11 worked just fine... wayland is much responsive tho and I use gnome desktop.... if this problem in wayland is fixed then I might use it again

I use X.0rg but I have used X11 in the past. X11R6

Why hello there! :)

Thank you for explaining this -- thru showing us an example. It makes total sense. I had basic idea of how X worked, but I'm coming from Windows. And, I want to understand Linux better.

X11 makes more sense

I tried Wayland before in Manjaro, but it only showed a cursor and a black screen, so I gave up. Xorg works fine for me.

Boy am I glad we don't have "Weyland" on Solaris! Good old X11R6 (Solaris 10) and X11R7 (Solaris 11 / illumos) and driiivvveee....

this was nice to find after watching several videos that were just people reading web pages or spouting off opinions, thanks for this

loved the video, thank you very much!

Wasteland is not a display server, is a protocol

Wayland is X12.

Please continue this series, this is so interesting.

What do you think? Is Phong still worth using it in games these days? Trine 1 and 2 used Phong, Trine 3+ used PBR. Apparently WoW was using Phong all this time, except that now they also added Raytracing. Do you think Phong lighting still has a place in games today?

Wow, thank you. Very well said my friend.

C++ class is missing on mine, even tried reinstalling visual studio

The display manager (KDM, GDM, XDM) loads after X11 or Wayland. The DM is just a graphical program to manage the login to the desktop and need a graphical server to load on.

Imagine using winbugs

great video, thumbs up my friend

Hyprland dev commented :))

If you running Linux in VM which is the host is also Linux, X11 version of your DE is work better than Wayland's DE

I Like this explanation, but it ist not 100% correct :-) still good for understanding some things especially about X11

Wayland does NOT handle User input. Things like libinput is used for user inputs

Wayland is not a Display Server that first statement is alredy wrong. It is a Protocol and the actual Desktops have to program thyr Display managers etc. around that protocol for compatibility.

There is not really a question whether to go with wayland or X11. its more like have you an nvidia Graphics card oder an AMD/Intel graphics card. With the first one you have no real choice. witch the others the best option for many usecases ist the not deprecated standard - wayland. But you also may have A workload that does currently not support wwayland - so again no choice..

god is happy

22 seconds in an you already have made a considerable mistake. That's quite fast. Neither X11 nor Wayland are display servers.

Incredible!

Thanks. Helped me a lot to understand. X11 has been such a mystery to me my whole life. Time to learn.

Beautifully explained, thank you ❤

thanks!

thank you for explaining in such great details!

thank you so much!

thanks!

Amazing video!

thank you!

Interesting video! ✌

this was superb!

Roses are red, violets are blue, your pixel knowledge is on point, and your humor is too! 😂

big thanks to RUclips for recommending me your videos fr

Wow

Great content! That cat tho 😂

Great video as always!
