Xfce's Xfwm4 Sees Wayland Port With Wlroots

[aufkrawall]

would be kind of surprised if it wasn't with Plasma.

It is, in case of 1D LUTs of ICC profiles it is just bugged at UI/initialization level and requires some workarounds (adding profile at system path and restarting colord).

This is nice; also allows it to use some of those handy wlroots hacks such as gamma display tuning and such which atm are still not possible on Gnome or Plasma......

I'm not sure what you mean by "gamma display tuning", but if it's using the gamma LUT for monitor calibration, that is certainly possible with GNOME, would be kind of surprised if it wasn't with Plasma.

Wlroots is a great choice, and I can't wait for when it lands as it will be a great choice for a minimal Wayland Desktop you can base automated equipment on where Sway is just too cumbersome due to its weird control nature.

yeah, it is very stable and it has some killer features like maximizing a window across all screens (idk if this will be implemented in xfce though, but the fact it uses wlroots will probably make possible to enable it somehow)

Or just read some history and learn that your suggestion makes no damn sense.

"The developers' current stance is that the initialism no longer stands for anything specific"

So actually it makes just as much sense as any other modification of "Xfce" because it's literally just 4 random letters now.

I petition this to rename xfce as wfce

You want to be tipped for something easy that takes only a couple of minutes?
You really don't belong into FOSS world, why not just go away...

Like, all these people who boot to desktop and run the "free" command in a terminal? This is not entirely useless, but it sucks. What about : browse a directory, read pdf, write a file in text editor, open a picture. bonus : cycle through 100 or so pictures (picture viewers are stupid and don't deallocate RAM)

[grok]

Never understood how xfwm found enough users.
All I want is awesome.
But no. This planet is just weird.

Because it's unremarkable maybe.
Its competitors went KDE3 > KDE4 > KDE5 and Gnome 2 > Gnome 3 > Gnome 40 while Xfce has stayed as Xfce 4.

If people tipped me I'd make a proper Linux based comparison between DEs RAM consumption in Linux.

Unexpected, of course. A word or two about xfce. The killing of xfce started with the switch to gtk3. Now xfce4 is no longer a lightweight environment, although it's a bit lighter than GNOME. Also, f*ck CSD. Moving to Wayland is a futile effort. Wayland was designed so that mega-DE (GNOME specifically) would rule on the desktop, and the rest were ditched because of the difficulty of maintaining it. There is a lot more to xfce that needs special attention.
