Does clipboard work better with KWinFT? It's a massive mess with KWin in Plasma 5.22 in the Wayland session - totally broken and only copies things every other time.

Maybe in the future KDE devs and KwinFT dev could merge their work again.

one of the most intriguing project of the year for me, personally... i'm really looking forward for this project. wlroots is a wise choice and the next wise choice would be making kwinFT a drop in replacement for kwin, and also maybe coming up with a new nice name...
thanks to the authors and keep up the good work!!!!

smartalgorithm KWinFT actually is already a drop-in replacement for KWin (you'd need disman and kdisplay, too) which means you can try it out yourself in its current state (the best supported way is on Arch or Arch-derivatives, but there are binary packages available - albeit not the latest - on a community repo for openSUSE). My only request at this point would be to bring it to more distributions, particularly Ubuntu/Debian is missing a PPA last time I checked. At this point I don't think it is likely that it will ever get back-merged into upstream KDE, but as long as users can opt-in into a PPA/custom repo and as there are no conflicts with the rest of Plasma, I'd say with more popularity KwinFT could become the default compositor in the long run.
Congrats to Roman for his work, even on X11 and in its current state it is a huge improvement in my eyes to vanilla KWin.

Cue for a ton of errors, corner cases, etc. each Wayland compositor has to tackle and resolve. Anyways, disregard this message as I'm an idiot who just doesn't understand Wayland and the absolute beauty of it.

I don't use wayland, but maybe this happens with GTK apps? I heard that GTK implements non-standard protocol and only one of recent releases got standard protocol implementation, but I'm not sure.
