== 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.
+Wayland is a communication protocol that can replace a display server such as Xorg.
+It differs from Xorg in several important ways.
+First, Wayland is only a protocol that acts as an intermediary between clients using a mechanism which removes the dependency on an X server.
+Xorg includes both the X11 protocol, used to run remote displays, and the X server, used to accept connections and display windows.
Under Wayland, the compositor or window manager provides the display server instead of a traditional X server.
Since Wayland is not an X server, traditional X screen connections will need to utilize other methods such as VNC or RDP for remote desktop management.
