Honestly, I think it isn't worth it, as long as we're on X. X11 is not a reasonable protocol, and Xorg is not a reasonable implementation anymore. It's had a good run, but it's time to move on.
- MrRadar 8y agoWill the situation improve with Wayland? It seems like Firefox is generally moving in the direction of natively supporting Wayland but it doesn't seem like a high priority for now.
- pcwalton 8y agoI have some working preliminary Wayland integration for WebRender as of this week. However, there's a whole lot more than WebRender integration that needs to get done for Firefox to stand up on Wayland.
- MrRadar 8y agoThanks for the info. Obviously WebRender and Wayland integration are separate concerns but I was mostly curious if you had any idea if Wayland would address the issues you were running into with X11/Xorg.
- pcwalton 8y agoYes, Wayland is looking a lot better. The most important feature is transaction support, which is weird in Wayland but better than X, which has none at all.
