Now, it's all under the notebook umbrella. Seems to be appropriate as it is just my notes after all. I also updated some notes from there. I didn't keep track of what it is this time. Something about more learning notes extracted from my "Learning how to learn" course notes and then some. Lack of time and hurriness just makes it difficult to track but it should be under version control already.

[[https://wayland.freedesktop.org/][The next iteration to X]], the traditional Unix display server.
|
|
Wayland, similar to X, is an entirely new protocol leaving to other tools to implement desktop systems.
|
|
Thus, it needs a new ecosystem of programs to run inside of a Wayland-based desktop sessions.
