PCSX2 Emulator Disables Wayland Support By Default

I dont "install X" on any of them, putty for windows, xquartz for mac, juicessh for android.

If you are viewing X applications remotely, then yes you have.

The name of xquartz should be a dead giveaway. That's an X server running over quartz, similar to xwayland being an x server running over wayland. Maybe putty/juicessh is bundling x too, I'm not sure. But you've definitely installed it one way or another.

You just need to install Wayland. That's no different than X for windows or wayland linux machines - you'll need to install either X or wayland in order to run those applications remotely.

As for mac os, i'll be honest - i kind of assume there's a way to make wayland run on it, but I have no idea. If there isn't, someone probably needs to start working on that.

I dont "install X" on any of them, putty for windows, xquartz for mac, juicessh for android. access and control everything from my home media server (I recently just started forwarding sayonara instead of VLC player, quite like it, but still looking for a better one) to debugging and monitoring HPC nodes in other countries.

must just be a documentation problem then, I dont see any instructions there for windows, mac or X11 linux machines.
What do I need to do to get this to work on my macbook air? does it even build for apple silicon?

weird. must be something the flatpak builders did vs FC39?

Possibly. The point stands that CSD relies on each application to get the functionality I want correct while SSD delegates it to a single central place.

Networked applications work fine, you know that.

Really?
No I didn't know.

Weston was written in C, because it was written by the former Xorg developers who were used to writing C, and should be written to high standards. The most commonly used major DE compositors mutter and kwin are also C, but they were established code bases being also previously X11 compositors/wm. wlroots is a C library. But there are also a number of compositors written in Rust including the upcoming Cosmic desktop.

And why is that worth the effort when no one uses it, and it would be less effort to do it for the various x-org modules?

In fact you definitely shouldn't, anyone who knows anything about security definitely wouldn't write it in C.

They all did though, didnt they.

while preaching we shouldn't use X11 because "security".

And we are supposed to do something other than not point and laugh when not ignoring them?
