X11 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X_Window_System), the most common display server (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Display_server) on Linux, is showing its age. Newcomers, like Wayland (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wayland_(display_server_protocol)) and Mir (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mir_(software)) are trying to address shortcomings and provide a basis for the future.

Let's have a look at what each of the display servers' strengths and weaknesses are.

If you want to present one of them, then please let the organizer (Peter) know or post in the forum.

Ian Young will also demo Endless OS (https://endlessm.com/), an operating system that "comes with everything your family needs".
