I'm not wedded to X11, but I do frequently use the ability to run a 
window over a network. I don't much care about GPU acceleration.

My understanding is Wayland is the alternative that is taking over the 
world, and it seems to exist to make GPUs happier and explicitly is 
opposed to running over a network.

Correct?
