"It is intended to eventually replace the classic X.org server in Alpine, thus reducing maintenance burden of X applications in Alpine, but a lot of work needs to be done first."
OT but what's the use case for running gui applications in alpine? I've mostly seen it used as a container OS on servers. Are people using it for kiosks?

From the README:
"Wayback is an experimental X compatibility layer which allows for running full X desktop environments using Wayland components. It is essentially a stub compositor which provides just enough Wayland capabilities to host a rootful Xwayland server."
