    @letoram I was wondering what benefits #Arcan would be able to provide to a mobile OS as, let’s say, #SailfishOS. Could you you spend a minute or two to enlighten us? Thanks for sharing.

    So I saw someone on here mention #arcan a while back (arcan-fe.com/)... I finally got around to building a debian bookworm package, which was surprisingly simple to do. It has a lot of dependencies, but... this is pretty neat! You can make little lua applications that you can then VNC into. It can also act as an X11/Wayland server/client, or something? There's a lot going on, here...

    Bjørn works on a first class citizen visual impairment friendly interface to the Durden DE on Arcan display server. (A proper solution that makes Wayland obsolete.)

    @tilton Every time I catch someone mention X11 and Wayland WITHOUT mentioning Arcan as a 3rd option I do:
    Arcan is the 3rd option! arcan-fe.com/about Better than the other two in many ways.

    "Here we continue the series of posts on the development of a command-line shell which defies terminal emulation by using the display server API locally and a purpose built network protocol remotely."

    My favorite answer to the X vs Wayland debacle is ARCAN. Though I run X11 because I love it.

    Why emulate terminals when you don't have to anymore?
    The power of -fe - no need for or ! The debate is futile 😜

    @david_chisnall @markd @solene @unix_discussions I've never heard about #Arcan but I see some some familiar #FreeBSD faces in the contributors list ;) I'll take a closer look.

    Some solid progress on desktop network transparency and related protocol work, with thanks to NGI Zero/NLnet.

    An unexpected consequence is that half the time I don't know where things are running anymore, only where there are presenting ..

    @canadianbryan @morgant @[email protected] @royal @spaceraser @ianthetechie

    Ah, I get that, and I do understand that binary compatibility != kernel compatibility, which is what's really needed for Wayland to work without a lot of porting work.

    Is ever going to be used as a display server? I'm still not clear on what it actually *is*, but I've heard some folks in the world are kinda excited about it.

    Ah, yes. . Thanks for remembering that for me ^___^

    The "good" thing about X11 is that it can fall back to older protocols if the new whizbang features don't work. That's basically (afaik/iirc) how X11 maintains "network transparency," today by falling back to the oldest, gnarliest standard, since things like DRM/Xrandr/whatnot have no network transparency.

    But I've probably already said more than I know. XD

    @karolherbst the concepts and design principles you keep aren't just details, they're core to the definition of the protocol, its viability and its capability to survive the future. And in this X11 was an incremental step up from X10, not a completely unrelated things. And no, I'm not going to waste my free time designing something that will be ignored for not having the “right” company behind it, #Arcan already fills that niche better than anything I could do starting now.
