Noob questions about Wayland and other stuff!

I have googled most of these I just want community responses from 2014.

Will Conky work on wayland? Conky's description is "A light weight monitor for the x display server" .

Will Nvidia and AMD drivers from X work on wayland?

When is wayland going to replace the X server? (The majority of people who will make the switch I mean)

Will you be switching to wayland? Why or why not?

Re: Noob questions about Wayland and other stuff!

I think this is the wrong place for most of these questions. The Arch Linux developers use the mailing list more than the forums, and they don't have any control over this software anyway.

Will Conky work on wayland?

I promise you that conky (or an equivalent) will eventually work on Wayland.

Will Nvidia and AMD drivers from X work on wayland?

Yes, after the drivers are written.

When is wayland going to replace the X server?

When it is ready. I know of two releases of Linux that use Wayland as the primary display server: Sailfish OS (the mobile OS for the Jolla mobile phone) and RebeccaBlackOS.

Will you be switching to wayland? Why or why not?

Yes. Because I use Arch Linux, and like to bleed.
