Well, not 100% useless: I can see its use for applications running inside Docker containers. Yes, there are ways to have GUI applications rendered from the inside of a container, but maybe this is easier than getting the Dockerfile right.

EDIT: nevermind, doing this with Docker seems much easier than I expected [0]. I'll try it tomorrow, I'm curious to see if the proposed solution works on Windows as well.

Windows had Wayland support before most distros! Rather surprising.

    > Windows had Wayland support before most distros! Rather surprising.

    WSL had non-accelerated wayland support at one point in time.

    Was it before "most distros"?

    I don't understand what you think that amounts to.

    Wayland support in Linux-land typically means that the software supports running in your wayland compositor.

    Windows famously is not a wayland compositor, no matter how much you try to bend reality.
