The new graphics system built using the wayland protocol eliminates the concept of messaging and streams between client and windows server. It relies on shared memory object that have their own rendering system, it is a great improvemnt.
The XCB update for X11 will be compatible with wayland. But nvidia is refusing to budge on the nbew interface, and in general is disruptive to linux users, delaying progress by tying up their graphics drivers.
But, IBM just paid 34 billion for Red at, and I am sure IBM:
Steve Almy, principal product manager of Red Hat Enterprise Linux, told El Reg in an email: “Based on trends in the Red Hat Enterprise Linux customer base, there is overwhelming interest in desktop technologies such as Gnome and Wayland, while interest in KDE has been waning in our installed base.”
A good strategy and one that IBM will adopt. So, IBM needs to devlop the aternative graphics chip for a Nvidia replacement, and we also want to run Nvidia out opf the AI business, don't need them, we can use an Intel co-processor well enough to search and modify our decision trees. Also, support for AMD is crucial, they are the one supporting linux, always ask for AMD AI chips, not Nvidia.
I am co,pletely i support of Red hat going to wayland completely, most of the OS vendors follow suit. Wayland works well with XCB and the x.org group lives on.
