Wayland is almost ready to support Fedora21

The Fedora developer has officially announced that Fedora21 will use Wayland as the default display server. They wanted to use it earlier, but Wayland was only available in the GNOME3.14 desktop environment. Wayland is a simple & ldquo; Display Server & rdquo; (DisplayServer), which belongs to the same level as XWindow, rather than just replacing XServer in XWindow.

The Fedora developer has officially announced that Fedora21 will use Wayland as the default display server. They wanted to use it earlier, but Wayland was only available in the GNOME3.14 desktop environment.

Wayland is a simple "Display Server", which is the same as X Window, rather than just replacing X Server in X Window (note: X Server and X Client in X Window ). That is to say, Wayland should not only completely replace X Window, but also subvert the concept of X Client/X Server on the Linux Desktop. In the future, there will be no "X Client, it is "Wayland Client ".

It is also worth mentioning that, because the GTK2 application does not support Wayland, the Fedora developer has started to port Firefox to GTK + 3 (support for Wayland ), otherwise, they will have to use the GNOME Web browser in Fedora21 as the default Internet browser.
