> Unfortunately due to the misdesign of Wayland

It has nothing to do with wayland, it is due to linux not wanting to provide a stable API for drivers, deterring binary blobs (successfully). As for whether this latter thing is good or bad is subjective.




A desktop environment under x doesn't concern itself with graphics drivers.


You can use wlroots to have a similarly abstract view of the underlying.

Nonetheless, X itself is broken, it could not have been done otherwise.
