I think you misunderstood me. The people I had in mind were those maintaining code that writes its own windows (toolkits, libraries like SDL2, plenty of games rolling their own and applications like Steam).
And I mentioned it plenty of times: But I like the idea behind Wayland, and think it's a great thing that the display system is finally getting rearchitected and rewritten.
My problem isn't "I no longer have X", my problem was the attitude of "Wayland doesn't have to care about non-average users when replacing X" which I was previously responding to.
- espadrine 10y agoWouldn't supporting simultaneously the X protocol and the Wayland protocol be very hard, if not impossible? It's already hard enough to replace the "basics" of X.
- mixedCase 10y agoNot impossible, just ugly as hell. The first two examples I mentioned (toolkits like Qt or Gtk and the SDL2 libraries) actually do it.
