No, that does not say what you think it does.
Nowhere does it say "complete" or "1:1", which is the point. Wayland is supposed to be different/better and that includes dropping some stuff and increasing security (e.g. screen recording or automation tools).
- josephcsible 4y agoIf X11 is going away without there being something to replace all of its use cases, then what are people supposed to do who need those automation tools, etc.?
- diffeomorphism 4y agoCurrent Red Hat release have still like 15(?) years of support, so no rush. Otherwise the same thing as usual: pay someone to build actually secure automation tools. The way X does these is horribly insecure and broken by design, so wayland rightfully says they won't support doing it that way. Nothing about not doing these ever. Same for screen recording by the way. "Any app can see everything with absolutely no security"=not supported anymore. "Any app can use this standard way to ask for permission to record"=new. Obviously that breaks older software, but that is on purpose. So you had a transition period where for instance OBS did not work on wayland, then it was updated and now it does.
