- ch_123 5y agoFrom the FreeBSD wiki: https://wiki.freebsd.org/Graphics/Wayland https://wiki.freebsd.org/Graphics/Wayland > While Wayland isn't ready for general use. I can't readily find anything to indicate that this claim is out of date. I am aware that Wayland has been ported, but I have not heard of it being widely used, or being "production ready" as per se.
- amarshall 5y agoFreeBSD wiki is a bit notorious for being out-of-date, and that particular page is marked “CategoryStale”. Anyway, first result on DuckDuckGo is someone using Wayland on FreeBSD successfully [1]. [1]: https://euroquis.nl/freebsd/2021/03/16/wayland.html https://euroquis.nl/freebsd/2021/03/16/wayland.html
- jolmg 5y agoIsn't that because FreeBSD provides an emulation of Linux?
- kevans91 5y agoNo, wayland bits generally run well enough without needing the linuxolator.
