+== Wayland Overview
 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.
