Sorry if this is the wrong place to post, but there was this really funny handrawn meme of Wayland taking on XOrg/X11 that I'm pretty sure was posted in this community but deleted because its no longer in my saved posts.

Does anyone have a hard copy or the original author?

For more context, Xorg was depicted as a bearded dude sitting in a throne with an XFCE mouse as his pet.

And I think Wayland was maybe Dio or another JoJo character.

Author also made other sketches and linux memes, but I can't remember because it was probably ~2 years ago now.

This doesn't hold true anymore though, Wayland does work on Nvidia

    Xorg: runs on Tegra 3

    Wayland: doesn't run on Tegra 3

    Conclusion: Wayland wins

    P.s.: this is just cope. I have a Tegra 3 that is stuck with xorg and won't run labwc. The inherent better efficiency of the Wayland protocol makes sooooo much difference on super low powered devices. Something like labwc is super responsive even on stuff like old Intel Atom netbooks, while xorg is all choppy and stuttery. You definitely want Wayland on those.

    P.p.s.: people think Wayland is more demanding than xorg but it is not true, it's just that they compare full featured wayland desktops like Gnome or Plasma with minimal desktops like xfce or i3.
