Think twice before abandoning X11. Wayland breaks everything!

tl;dr: Wayland is not "the future", it is merely an incompatible alternative to the established standard with a different set of priorities and goals.

Wayland breaks everything! It is binary incompatible, provides no clear transition path with 1:1 replacements for everything in X11, and is even philosophically incompatible with X11.

Wayland solves no issues I have but breaks almost everything I need. Even the most basic, most simple things (like xkill) - in this case with no obvious replacement. And usually it stays broken, because the Wayland folks mostly seem to care about Automotive, Gnome, maybe KDE - and alienating e

KVM OSX Guest 10.11 (El Capitan) with Clover

• Some notes about this approach:
  • An OSX Installer USB drive for Install OS X El Capitan is created
  • Clover is then installed on the USB drive
  • Clover Configurator is then run on the USB drive
  • The USB drive contents are copied to the VM host
  • VNC is used to connect to the guest UI
• The qxl virtual video device is used (part of the standard kvm qemu install)
