Most of the answers are either "well that's true, the protocol doesn't allow it, but implementations do it in non-standard ways" or "we are working on it" or "oh this is not a problem with Wayland, see, Wayland is just a protocol". i.e. at least half of the criticism, as of today, is still practically true.
- Sir_Cmpwn 8y agoYou can't even open application windows on Wayland without a protocol extension. The core Wayland protocol doesn't do these things by design, but that doesn't mean end-users can't do them on Wayland compositors which support these use cases in the places that they're designed to be supported.
- de9xvnh7 8y agoThe end user doesn't care about protocols or compositors. The end user wants a system that can replace Xorg and do the same or even a better job. And, as of today, Wayland fails miserably at that.
- ddevault 8y ago>The end user doesn't care about protocols or compositors Which is why they shouldn't care that the core Wayland protocol doesn't implement it. These use cases WORK!
