    gnome and KDE already have downstream xx implementations of the protocol and are ready to go

    KDE even already has an MR to swap to upstream


    Gnome's merged request implementing the protocol for PQ:
    Implements the wayland color management protocol (xx-color-management-v4) Can be used together with gtk main to play back HDR videos and get HDR in the UI.

      It's already in Mutter and Kwin.

        Did anything ever come of that Valve employee trying to get the Wayland consortium to stop having their heads stuck up their asses? Last I heard, everything he proposed was still just that: proposals. And it's been months at this point, no? Sounds like nothing has changed.

        And Frog Protocols didn't catch on specifically because that other valve engineer was going to "fix" the "real" Wayland development cycle. Yeah right. All he did was sabotage our chance to have a functional desktop via Frog Protocols. Now we're right back where we were before: Fucked.

            Speaking of modern operating systems, Windows has a display manager that is literally 20 times more advanced:​ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Window...y_Driver_Model And so is the Quartz Compositor in MacOS: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quartz_Compositor And so is Android: https://source.android.com/docs/core/graphics Even half-complete HaikuOS works better.

            Does any modern OS contain multiple display servers? Fat no! Companies like Google, Apple and Microsoft cannot afford such luxury even with thousands of programmers making over $250K a year. Even before Wayland Linux had just one Xorg86 and then it was superseded by XFree. All the other display servers that people here love to mention all the time? Not a single one of them was offered out of the box by a single Linux distro. They were all optional for very specific needs and very few people.

            I just don't understand why Linux fans try to make it personal all the time. Insults on top of insults non-stop. Maybe you're a distinguished Linux contributor? Or developer? No?

            Meanwhile there's a news story on Phoronix' front page mentioning me. Again. That's how "useless" I am.

            Almost everything that I've been requesting over the past 25 years has been implemented one way or another.
            • Common init system? SystemD. Done!
            • Common audio server? PulseAudio/PipeWire. Done!
            • OOM daemon? systemd-oomd. Done!
            There's a lot more to be done unfortunately.

            Anyway, I've just blacklisted you. Leave your empty insults to your grandmother. Also, I'm not your buddy, so stop calling people you've never seen or talked to IRL by their real names.​
            You unironically have an ego because you filed a bug report for firefox to switch from .gz .xz, well done. I'm guessing you sent it to Michael, too?

            Do you think nobody else has thought these things through? Do you think there isn't a reason the wayland ecosystem is working the way it is? Do you continue to ignore the obvious countpoints to your statements while posting the same bug report over and over again (yes)?

            It's you who's taking it personally when I'm just calling your posts about it what they are: useless. They serve no purpose other than to litter communities with dead content when wayland continues to advance without your input.

            Wayland is amazing, along with the various implementations of it. The work is not done. Wayland will never have a reference implemention.... OH WAIT THEY DO!!!!!! Wayland genuinely won't have a standard implementation because it's part of what led X11 to become the biggest steaming pile of shit on the planet.

              no no no that doesn't fit the narrative, gotta ignore that

              just wait for the "but my use-case that not a single other person in the world has isn't supported so wayland is useless"

                Can I adjust mouse scrolling speed on Linux yet?

                I mean the amount of extremely basic features missing is astounding. Linux is the one and only server OS I’ll ever use, but on the desktop it’s just useless.

                      What about USB game pads? When can we control the Wayland pointer with those? There used to be a X driver for the original xbox controller iirc
