One more thing to mourn the loss of with Wayland i guess...
- yjftsjthsd-h 10y agoWhy was this downvoted? Breaking backwards compatibility with every existing WM is legitimately a downside to Wayland.
- digi_owl 10y agoNaysay the "future", get the downvote stick...
- bluejekyll 10y agoWhat would it take to port to wayland?
- notalaser 10y agoPretty much a complete rewrite. Wayland is nothing like X11.
- digi_owl 10y agoI have taken to likening Wayland to svgalib. The basic task of Wayland is to facilitate that a program (most commonly a DE compositor/WM) can draw on the screen using the GPU without the programmer having to write OpenGL code.
