PSPDFKit WASM scored higher on Wayland and finished slightly faster, so nothing wrong. I suppose separate test runs can also be slightly differentially delayed based on waiting for the system metrics (e.g. temperature) to become stable between runs.

Someone mentioned "color management" earlier. That is currently proposed as a protocol extension:

So that is at least one thing that is currently missing. Anything else?

And then, there is proof in the pudding, so to speak. Take input lag as a perfect example, Gnome's solution to input lag is a cgroup rule that causes the processor to power up and brute force it and even just -moving the mouse curser- powers up the CPU. That's not a solution, that's a disgusting hack. And even then under CPU intensive loads input lag can become unbearable, where moving the mouse curser can have -multiple seconds- of lag.Last edited by duby229; 15 June 2020, 02:24 PM.

And this have nothing to do with either X11 or Wayland, since it behave the same on both.
I use it to bind my 2 desktop monitors and the laptop screen into one large workspace. Then when I use the workspace switcher, all of the displays switch together.

Nobody wants to lose compatibility! Ask companies and Average Joe.
Only some hardcore Linux and Apple fans don't care about compatibility.Last edited by tildearrow; 15 June 2020, 02:55 PM.

Now what made you think your feelings are important?! (Note: saying "facts" makes you look like a huge liar, so it will not count)
