Whenever I see comments like this about #
Wayland I always have to ask, who do you think would be developing this new protocol? Every single #
Linux graphics developers agrees that Wayland is where we're going, the problem is nobody agrees on how it should look

As for mainstream, better Nvidia support is obv. the big one. And application support is still really lacking, at least it is for me.

All twms on x11 or compositors need a lot of configuration and tinkering.

With the recent discussion about the ext type protocols makes me wonder if there was ever a proposal for delegation of window management to a separate process while the compositor retained all other features.
May or may not be possible based on the design and security principles but plenty of other software has ways to offload processing to an external process and return results.

in reply to Brodie Robertson • • •@thelinuxcast I think we should focus on bringing back a universal method for apps being able to call Wayland directly for what application has focus as offloading that to the DE is really dumb & puts a huge amount of work on application devs that does not need to be there.
But to do that they have to create a privacy & security type gate (macOS) that requires users to approve that level of access to specific apps, & accessibility type apps need it too.

in reply to Brodie Robertson • • •Change is good, but change needs to be managed. I have a manjaro box with plasma and a choice of X11 or wayland session.
In the wayland session viewing images scaled in gwenview delivers images which are not properly scaled more like postage stamps in a sea of black. My customised favourite list is squashed and order change.
I've no idea if this is a plasma issue or wayland issue. I don't care, I just want it to work So X11 for now.

in reply to Brodie Robertson • • •I guess people hating #Wayland are the same folks that hate #SystemD or even #PipeWire whilst refusing to #DoBetter themselves:
#Toxic #Neighsayers that refuse to acknowledge that #Xorg, #SystemVinit and #ALSA / #OSS are bad.
Instead they create redundant work that noone cares and that only.pulls resources from improving mainlike #Linux.
Or does anyone use #Devuan in any busoness-critical applicationm?
