Linux Lite 4.0 Wayland
#1
X.org has some serious security flaws.
https://www.techrepublic.com/article/a-l...rom-x-org/
"For those that don't know, X was originally designed and released in 1985 and X11 in 1987. X.org replaced X11 and was originally released April 6, 2004. X.org lack a few very important security features that are critical for modern era usage and hardware:
  • All X applications have access to everything on your screen
  • All X applications can register to receive every keystroke, regardless of which window said keystrokes are typed within
  • Applications such as browsers can be remotely controlled such that keystrokes can be forged as if the user were typing them
  • The xhost + option can completely disable any security on the display
Effectively, with X.org, your display could be turned into a keylogger."

It seems that Ubuntu 18.04 will include Wayland, but enable X.org by default.

Will Linux Lite 4.0 include Wayland?
