From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Curious from people who follow its development closely.

  • What protocol are about to be finally implemented?
  • Which ones are still a struggle?
  • How many serious protocols are there missing?

It's not in xfce yet, so no. Also I have some weird bugs with the UI of plasma glitching out on LMDE/Debian.

We've come a long way but we're not yet at stability.

Pretty much all the Xfce4 apps support Wayland natively

A little out of date. But still the best source I know of 👍

I truly believe the answer to this question is going to be yes around the May - June timeframe when Nvidia releases their explicit sync enabled drivers. All aboard the Wayland hype train babyyyy!

I don't follow this stuff at all, so I have no idea what the advantages are of Wayland that I'd actually see and benefit from in my daily use. That being said, I saw everyone saying it's better, so I tried switching to it. After rebooting, my PC just showed a black screen. I needed to use a TTY to revert back to xorg. So no, as of right now I'm not using Wayland.

That site's great.

The main thing I wish for is for ffmpeg to start supporting the wlroots screengrabbing api.

Some way of globally capturing hotkeys, for things like starting stream, media hotkeys, etc. Only passing key events to the foreground window is shortsighted, but we need a secure way of doing this.

I use Hyprland daily and it works great. The only issue I have is that PhpStorm has some minor issues. Being a Java app, it runs via XWayland. It mostly works, but sometimes menus and popups get confused and won't stay open.

I'd love to find an alternative to xdotool's auto type feature (or ClickPaste from Windows).

There is wtype but unfortunately it doesn't work in KDE nor GNOME because neither of them support the right protocol. I've run into the " hasn't implemented $PROTOCOL" a few times in the past and it's certainly a bit annoying.

Aside from when that comes up, I don't really have any complaints. A tool we used for work was never going to be fully functional on Wayland because of its dependence on Xinerama (I think) but thankfully we've moved away from it.

I like ydotool, uses a systemd user service, but fulfills my needs of KB shortcuts to paste text into vnc sessions
