That's it. Those three tiny header files is all you need to be able to host or interface with a Wayland server, create and manipulate windows, get input device events, or get an EGL context for use with OpenGL or OpenGL ES (your choice). There are no configuration files (everything is autodetected and/or delegated to the kernel, enumerating display adapters, adapter outputs, input devices, etc. is done by traversing the mounted devfs file system tree).

You can use this as your starting point to implement a full blown DWM or X Windows layer, or you can use it write client applications that integrate nicely with any active Wayland server including Wayland-based DWM.

Why are you still using X Windows?

X's arch isn't bad because people were lazy or stupid, it's "bad" (i.e. slow) because it was required to support features your windows-fed ubanto brain can't comprehend.
That isn't even true. The official nVidia drivers patches various function tables such that you don't have to pay the performance price of features you don't use.
