Xfce's Wayland Compositor Code Continues Improving

[Anux]

Maybe it is time for Lennart Poettering to bring his well-known approach to contributing to software that uses the linux kernel and take on modifying Wayland to meet his standards?

Yes it could be integrated in systemd and it should encrypt it's log-files with a random key. And wouldn't it be nice if (instead of displaying error messages) it would put them in the current desktop background with steganography?
But only if it gets written in rust.

Wayland and X11 can be installed both and apps of all mixtures can run together. If you need X11 network protocols, run the DE in X11, otherwise you can choose Wayland. That is all, what is there to argue? Can you argue with developers who develop for free? Can you argue about other people's preferences? BS!

wayland is a freedesktop.org project.
freedesktop.org is the same organisation maintaining x11 and it is part of the X.Org Foundation.

Xorg was originally a project of MIT and IBM, and Redhat only adopted it.

Behold, systemd-waylandd!

Michael also keeps posting about patches for new yet to be released hardware that no one on Earth except vendors themselves can test and use.

Mir is dead, period.

Looking at the amount and frequency of commits, Mir seems far from dead to me: https://github.com/MirServer/mir/commits/main

He said *maintaining X11*, not that they created it.

This is a catch there are two things that are Mir. The Mir Protocol that dead. Mir server/compositor that now a wayland compositor that still alive yes edge case you find in UBPorts other odd places.

Pardon me, but finally in 21st century, could I assign Super key to open launcher and still can use combine Super + xyz key for other tasks? This is only one point keep me refuse this mouse, or it's a dead meme?

Wayland is reference protocol, Weston is the "proof of concept" implementation. Weston is not meant to be used as a daily gear, but as an example implementation of Weston protocol features. Or am I missing something?

Wayland is the protocol, right. And Weston is reference implementation. Correct me if I'm wrong, but in case of Bitcoin, the reference implementation was ready to use and was actually used. And in case of Wayland, we still get news like this one. I hope it makes my analogy clearer.

Why don't they use wlroots though?
It's quite mature compared to weston and can create a very much usable desktop (swaywm).

idk. Also, wlroots is what Hyprland is based on, but being more eye-candy (hey, /r/unixporn!)
