1. wayland

   Wayland is a computer protocol that specifies the communication between a display server and its clients. It is primarily used on Unix-like operating systems, and is aimed to be a simpler and more modern replacement for X Window System. It involves direct management of hardware and features like multi-pointer input, but also increases security as it allows applications to run in isolation from each other. It was developed by a group of volunteers initially led by Kristian Høgsberg as a free and open community-driven project.
