Fedora 25 Is Still On Track To Use Wayland By Default

[Azrael5]

I have to test it.

Last I heard, if you use Redshift or any other program to remove blue light from your monitor at night, it won't work with Wayland. Not sure if that's still the case though.

anything like xrandr for wayland?

You can track the progress on https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Wayland_features
Note that some reports may be out of date.

That doesnt answer my question. First of all xrandr also controlls gammas, which means you can control blue gamma and overall brightness.

If you read the link, xrandr and colour temperature are listed.

But unfortunately no progress yet.

I really like the enthusiastic about Wayland and replaycing Xorg. But the truth is, Fedora is not replaycing Xorg with Wayland. They replaye the Xorg Server with an Wayland Compositor. The complete Xorg dependencies still remain. And the worst thing is, wayland must "emulate" the x api calls thru a new layer.
So i can see no benfit on using a wayland compositor, only displaying X programms.
Bad things about Wayland-Compositors: Its no longer possible to use the nvidia opengl Driver, and play any Steam Game.
And the best Feature ssh -X is no longer working to a remote machine...

Different wayland compositors are not compatible between each other. An KDE Screensaver would never run on an GNOME Desktop. Its not possible to write a simple Programm to change the Desktop image. Its working on Gnome or KDE. In the Future the Linux Desktop will Split up more and more.

Long Live X11

I'm sure a lot of people will use X11 when they discover that a lot of the media players won't work properly .

gradually x11 will disappear... Long life to nothing.

Wayland by default looks more like an upstream GNOME choice than a Fedora choice. I use GNOME 3.22 on Arch Linux and it defaults to Wayland when using the open source drivers.
