What are your use-cases not addressed by Wayland?
The sway compositor has been standardizing protocols for screenshots, screen recording/streaming, composable desktop components and so on.
- lone_haxx0r 7y agoJust wait until everyone else creates their own standard protocols.
- p2t2p 7y agoNah, those protocols are also implemented in wl-roots which is the foundation of virtually every single wayland compositor, otherwise you'd have to write 50+k of lines of code yourself.
- wander_homer 7y agoOnly if you ignore the most widely used Wayland compositors on the desktop, Mutter and Kwin. I doubt all compositors built upon wlroots come even close to the user bases of those two.
- p2t2p 7y agoThere is no way to tell current keyboard layout as of now. There is somewhat a debate on that topic because Gnome people what to have dbus api instead of wayland protocol extension for this functionality. Sway people are pushing for protocol extension and for now we have two use sway-specific api so a bar on a screen would be able to show current keyboard layout.
