Fedora 24 Is Planned For Release In Mid-May

Really? F23 wayland usable? Loool
Its nowhere near!

Everytime i open a window it sets point to top right conor;
unless you start with x11 useres folders like pictures, music, etc... are not created.
Xwayland is really crappy;
Theres alot of stuff that randomly are misplaced.

Call me when f26 arives and stop dreaming.

Very informative, thanks.
Although it might not be related to the windowing system (or the win system is not the only issue), iirc I issued vdpauinfo from both Wayland and X11 (on Fedora 23) and it printed out the same result (that no codec is supported) in both cases. I'm also thinking that not all cards under nouveau have vdpau enabled yet (mine is GTX 560 Ti).

You need firmware to get VDPAU on that card. Arch has a nouveau-fw package here. It downloads the proprietary driver and runs a script on it to extract the firmware. Instructions to do it manually are at the freedesktop wiki: http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/VideoAcceleration/

Forget wayland, they have to fix package manager, because DNF is ULTRASLOW. Considering that packages are already downloaded, installing 500 packages takes half an hour for DNF, versus less than few minutes for pacman on the same machine.
