But Vitruvian is running its own graphics stack so no X11 or wayland applications will run afaict.

So what's the point of this -- it's essentially a different Haiku?

I think itbis the reverse, it is haiku with a linux kernel so it works with more hardware.

Not quite really. Vitruvian runs virtually the same identical sw stack of Haiku and there's a haiku-wayland that works. However on vitruvian the app_server could provide real Gbm buffers, so that would give us pretty much native rendering. We're still working on it but you'd have the advantages of a BeOS-like gui and the power of linux!
