This might be Wayland's killer app. I usually say the only reason I'd ever use wayland is when Mint makes it default.
Otherwise, it's cool and all, but it's not a complete spec by itself since it leaves stuff like screen recording to implementations.
When distros are confident enough to say their implementation is ready, I'll accept it, till then, it doesn't seem to have any real big new features besides the secure isolation.
- ungamedplayer 4y agoIsn't all screen recording an implementation ? Edit: I do OBS screen recording.. didnt know it was such a big deal. Fedora 34,35, 36 ish ? has it working, but I imagine that is pipewire + obs. Its pretty easy.
- pxc 4y agoWayland doesn't specify the APIs required to support screen recording, so each Wayland server implementation has to decide if/how to offer its own such interfaces. This basically means it's up to each desktop environment, although there are now some shared implmentations of this and other features in wlroots.
- Crysstalis 4y agoScreen recording is out of scope for wayland. Each server doesn't have to decide anything, basically every desktop working on this has converged on using pipewire for screen recording.
