      I suppose it explains why people have a bad attitude about Wayland when tools providing useful functionality are described as trojans.

      X11 can (…mostly…) have great security by just providing a suitable X Security module to it. It just seems it wasn’t considered that big of an issue that anyone bothered. Nokia Maemo/Meego used to rock such a module.

          By that logic, is the compositor working any different than a trojan? Is there really a difference?

          The Wayland compositor is always capturing all your keyboard and mouse as well. No permissions asked. Pretty sus.

          It records the screen without any restrictions and without having to ask for any permissions.

          Which is exactly the requirements you need to remote desktop access via tools like meshcentral, anydesk… I don’t understand this mentality of “X11 was broken!!!”. Yeah well Wayland is broken since it stops legitimate uses as well.
