I am running Wayland on an IVB GT1. Your hardware is not possibly shittier than this AND capable of handling modern tasks. Also wayland just needs the infrastructure of doing accelerated draws which if your GPU doesn't support then it won't work with X anyway unless you're running truly exotic 2D accelerators from the 90s

    That's complete horseshit. There are lile 3 major implementations of Wayland and 2 exist because the other one wasn't ready at the time. There are other hobby implementations, but they all work together. Just like how different network stacks can all talk TCP to each other and be fine. Nobody calls TCP fragmented because there are different network stacks...

    There are also smaller projects.

    Also, the model of a protocol allows Wayland to be deployed on truly exotic operating systems. As long as the top level is compliant, shit just works.
