Phoenix is a new X server, written from scratch in Zig (not a fork of Xorg server). This X server is designed to be a modern alternative to the Xorg server.

Wait until you hear about the Wayland compositor River also written in Zig.

@nixCraft Sounds interesting, and I'd like to give it a try as its usability grows. If it allows dodging Wayland, I'm for it.

Wayland doesn't use the X11 *protocol*, so it's not the same thing at all, regardless of pluses or minuses of Wayland.

@nixCraft i don't see the point.

Just all move to wayland and make Xwayland even better istead of losing your time on a new implementation of an outdated server

@nixCraft Can’t really be modern without breaking the X11 proto
