alt Hacker Newsis it possible to create another alternative to both x11 and wayland that might correct some of these issues? (especially now with ai assistance?)
I can see arguments for improving x11 but wayland still isn't there and I end up having to not use it for that reason

Sure, let’s throw some monke- I mean agents in a room and see if they can make something better than X11 and Wayland - each of which has had 10s of thousands of man hours put into them.

If all the developers behind X can’t do it in a decade, what makes you think anyone else can?
Even if someone made something, are they really going to get buy in from all the major players?
It’s Wayland. It’s over.
Take a look at Arcan, it supports both X11 and Wayland (and I think other protocols too).
