Is this something where it would be helpful if the Linux (environment) developers worked together? Like the (graphics) kernel, GTK, KDE, Wayland, … guys all in one room (or video conference) to discuss requirements iron out one graphics architecture that is efficient and transparent?

I think it’s good that different graphics systems exist but it feels unnecessary that every team has to make their own discoveries how to handle the existing pieces.

If work were coordinated at least on the requirements and architecture level then I think a lot of synergies could be achieved. After that everyone can implement the architecture the way that works best for their use case, but on some common elements could be relied on.
