Do note that the article is mainly about Wayland on the raspberry pi.
Of course Wayland isn't the default most places yet (Fedora being the big exception, I think), though you can install it on most distros.
I've been Wayland/Sway on NixOS for a while, and I really like it.
One question though - the article seems to say that wlroots is a Rust project, but it seems to very much be a pure C project? (https://github.com/swaywm/wlroots https://github.com/swaywm/wlroots)
- josteink 7y ago> the article seems to say that wlroots is a Rust project, but it seems to very much be a pure C project? Yeah. It uses meson/ninja to build. No Rust.
- mattcoles 7y agoWhat do you like about it? For general use it seems as if it'll be something that makes no difference to my day-to-day usage of my computer other than a warm fuzzy feeling that the underlying protocol is "right".
- miloignis 7y agoThat's true - the two things I really like are no screen tearing ever (be that scrolling Firefox or YouTube videos) and that warm fuzzy feeling. Edit: I also like Sway quite a bit (over i3/X) - its configuration (outputs, input devices, etc) makes a lot more sense and is a lot easier for me than trying to change stuff in different places and in different ways with X.
