== Wayland Synopsis
Wayland is a new display server, but it differs from Xorg in several important ways.
First, Wayland is only a protocol that acts as an intermediary between clients using a different mechanism which removes the dependency on an X server.
Xorg includes both the X11 protocol, used to run remote displays and the X server will accept connections and display windows.
Under Wayland, the compositor or window manager provides the display server instead of a traditional X server.

Under Wayland, the compositor or window manager provides the display server instead of a traditional X server.
Since Wayland is not an X server, traditional X screen connections will need to utilize other methods such as VNC or RDP for remote desktop management.
Second, Wayland can manage composite communications between clients and a compositor as a separate entity which does not need to support the X protocols.
