KDE's KWin On Wayland Is Progressing For 5.1 Release

Are you volunteering to do the work required to implement PPAPI support in Firefox? Because I understand that's pretty much the sticking point - nobody is interested in performing a substantial amount of work to support a single plugin which nobody at Mozilla has much love for (go figure, the open-web advocates don't like Flash).

plus ppapi really is a subset of nacl

Couldn't FF technically just adopt the PPAPI plugin from Chrome and call it a day ?

I'd like to get on to Wayland fairly early on and start coding for it. I can ditch Firefox if I need to. I'll switch from KDE to Gnome if I have to, although I'd be sad to give up Dolphin, but I do need Eclipse and the JVM.

This article is about KWin, the Window Manager. Many KDE apps already work on Weston: http://vizzzion.org/blog/2014/07/pla...ad-to-wayland/

So, if you wanted you can use Dolphin on Gnome 3 on Wayland.

Yeah but then they'd have to be working with Google to make the web better as opposed to holding onto their NIH attitude towards anything that's not Javascript.

Does this mean they fixed the memory leak or whatever it was that was wrong with KWin? When I was last looking into KDE 5 last week it came to my attention that the new KDE 5 is a resource hog and the developers had isolated the problem being in KWin.

Rekonq will probably have a KDE5 build by the time Kwin 5.1 comes out.

Rekonq already has a working kde5 port. i have some issues with URL loading, but it could be a configuration issue...

Fuck flash with AIDS, Syphilis Herpes and all the other STDs.

Holding FF back because of this monstrosity saddens me.
