Hi, This weekend I was curios about how difficult would be to have GNOME in a wayland-only system Thanks to building GNOME in a sandbox (thanks to buildstream and bwrap) and also thanks on using freedesktop-sdk as a base we can easily control the whole stack, so I started to experiment [1] Not sure how far we can go, but at least I'm discovering bugs and submitting some patches on the way (some of them are already accepted!) At some point I would like to generate a parallel pipeline in gnome-build-meta so at least we do not regress on wayland-only support (and ideally we can create a parallel GNOME VM without X at all, who knowns!) I'm keeping the progress here: [1] if someone wants to keep track Cheers, Javier [1] https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-build-meta/issues/226
