I wouldnt say it has no use cases. we are seeing a push to wayland, and this has caused us to start seeing applications that don't work on x11 anymore. and wayland is still unusable for a lot of people

That makes sense, but I guess only if it's implemented in a way similar to XWayland, i.e. seamlessly run Wayland apps on an existing Xorg compositor with little or no modifications. If the compositor needs to make significant changes to support the scenario then that defeats the purpose as it would be better to direct the efforts at actually converting the compositor into a Wayland compositor.

All it's doing is running a basic wayland shell and "faking" old desktops a bit by starting up some of their apps on top of wayland. For example, the XFCE support starts up the XFCE terminal, menu, and sets up a xfce background image via a simple bash script. But it's still just a basic wayland environment running Mir to do the window management.Last edited by smitty3268; 02 December 2023, 01:06 AM.
