Yserver is a from-scratch X11 server in Rust — not an Xorg fork. It implements 19 extensions (Composite, DRI3, GLX, RANDR) and deliberately drops multiple screens, non-TrueColor visuals, indirect GLX and the DDX driver ABI as 'legacy baggage'.
Two objections collide: practitioners who still need X11's network transparency and multi-monitor support that Wayland abandoned, and a chorus calling the project AI 'slop' that should disclose how much was machine-generated.
