its crazy to think that such an old display server is still being used and even defended to this day. X these days feels like a small thing with way too many extensions.
It has many neat little features that will never get implemented into Wayland for security reason (e.g. want to play a video on a button in your spreadsheet app using mpv?). It was fun while it lasted, but the next generation will never be able to experience it.
How do you that in wayland? I’m very interested with crazy and useless stuff like this. On X11, you can pass a window ID to mpv with --wid, it’ll attach the player to that window, even if that window is actually a button in a spreadsheet app.

You can definitely do that as wayland supports sub-compositors. You probably shouldn’t, though.
