Surface Suspension Protocol Proposed For Wayland

I think Wayland and Vulkan specifications were released too early and without enough feedback, too slow process too.

What's wrong with Vulkan? It works well, designed better than DX12, has excellent tooling.

I think Wayland [...] specifications were released too early and without enough feedback, too slow process too. But better late than never.

This is free software, not some tightly-integrated and tightly-coupled software stack written by a megacorp who can literally throw people at a problem. In a loosely-coupled world, it is literally impossible to solicit any useful feedback without, you guessed it, releasing a specification and encouraging everyone to write an implementation (and then encouraging everyone to use it).

(And before you scream "Red Hat", they do not control nearly everything, despite how much forum fearmongerers and FUD-slingers want you to think.)

this look like something gnome dev will refuse to add and KDE will add support after 3 years because they don't see Wayland as a priority and keep focus on x11 or some dead mobile project

i really hate Kwin

I think Wayland and Vulkan specifications were released too early and without enough feedback, too slow process too. But better late than never.

Anyway, I hope this inclusive improvement process accelerates exponentially.

I think wlroots should replace libweston ASAP and be used extensively by big projects, including Gnome and KDE. Let their big egos reckon a small project made a very big and amazing effort, for the good of Free/Libre/Open Source Software.
