I’ll move to Wayland when something like Easystroke works, until then Xorg FTW!
My excitement is muted by two things:
- Every X11 application runs in the same Xserver, so there’s no isolation which would be a massive incentive for adoption.
- Attempting to run anything Wayland inside a Docker container across the network is doomed to fail. RDP, VNC and the rest of these are a massive loss in functionality compared with X11 across the network.
I want this to work, but so far it just doesn’t.
In case you’re wondering, try running a GUI application on a remote server side by side with one running on another server on the same display and copy/paste data between the two.
Java really needs to support it. The font rendering through the xwayland compatibily layer is horrible.
Has anyone tried Wayland with a 2080 ti? I want to make the switch but I know Nvidia doesn’t always play nice.
I have a 2080 running kde Wayland on Arch. No issues really, but I only use that machine occasionally
Awesome, thank you!
The 2/3/4/5-000 series cards use a driver that’s more open than the older cards, so nvidia support tends to be better than it was before.
That screenshot of glxgears is giving me flashbacks of editing and re-editing my XF86Config trying to get my video card to give me some modicum of performance.
I hope that roadmap includes drag and drop functionality
its already there
At least in the archive manager it never works for me. Also in Firefox it feels very unreliable
I just need wine/proton, steam and a dumb app i need for work, and then I can drop x11 entirely.
We’re so close.
What’s wrong with proton and steam?
They use xwayland. They are not native wayland applications.
Is that a problem? I’ve been using them just fine in a wayland session for ages now.
Yes, it makes them have more latency issues amongst other small things.
It’s not a big deal, but I want x11 fully gone from my system, it’s legacy cruft that I no longer have any need for except to run these few things.
