<p>> Those are specific firmwares for those devices that are either closed-source binary blobs, open-source hackjobs/reverse engineered attempts, or just plain missing firmwares<p>This isn't fully the reason, Linux is infamous for requiring a specific build for each SoC (and usually each board of said SoC) where as Windows on ARM uses ACPI which Linux doesn't support to the same level. Linux prefers the landfill promoting device tree for each device approach.</p>

<p>I wouldn't say its "plain impossible" with X11, but its significantly easier on Wayland because its a far simpler design that aligns better with the graphics hardware, we're sending surfaces (or pointers to them) with metadata to the compositor, not drawing APIs.</p>

<p>There's nothing about Wayland that ties it to Linux. Wayland compositors tend to require a few features exposed by the graphics drivers (e.g. DRM) but there's nothing stopping the BSDS adding these (iirc FreeBSD already does).</p>

<p>They'd only need to make one payload that keeps the TPM happy, unlocks the disk and provides the files for export some way.<p>Far safer than a backdoor and no evidence.<p>But the slop in your comment here indicates you're arguing in bad faith.</p>

<p>There's zero proof it's an intentional backdoor, it's just FUD spread by the exploit author which is probably not helping his case and may be reason for his ban.<p>Microsoft doesn't need to put in a backdoor on disk because they can make payloads that'll pass the TPM and not need a single trace on the disk.</p>

<p>It's not a backdoor, Microsoft doesn't need a backdoor to bypass BitLocker because they can sign payloads that'll pass the TPM.</p>

<p>I don't believe Wayland makes any decisions about compositing, it's up to compositors to decide how (and if) they want to do that.<p>Wayland at it's core is an IPC for sharing memory buffers containing surfaces around and details about those surfaces.</p>
