> You can't really replace WindowServer on macOS, as it is pretty much macOS itself.

I find this very foreign. As if a unix system didn't let you change the shell!

This is sad to hear, because I'm a happy user of a headless macOS (not set up by me), to which I ssh almost daily for testing purposes, and it is a fairly decent unix system. It has a few idiosyncrasies, sure, but those help to make your pipelines more portable. I always supposed that the GUI would be just a regular program running on top of that unix.



What window servers can you use on Unix? Wayland still doesn't quite work, after many years.


I use Wayland every day on both my work and personal laptops. Works fine.
