I was referring to the fact that OpenGL is becoming a second class citizen among the silicon giants, with more attention being drawn to Vulcan/Metal/etc. Now that sway supports a Vulcan backend, it won't be left in the dust stuck on OpenGL.
I'm not aware of GNOME or KDE having similar improvements on their X backends or the same happening for X WMs.
- vidarh 5y agoX WMs do not have anything to do with rendering. The conflation of the server/compositor with the window management is a Wayland thing, and one of the big regressions in flexibility that current Wayland compositors bring. You may be confusing X WMs with the X server or with the toolkits rendering backends.
