Sheesh, yeah. Wayland is one of those aspirational things I check in with every once in a while, like Star Citizen or fusion power or the moral arc of the universe bending toward justice. They're nice things to think about, in dark moments, but I don't think one should bet on their successful implementation.
...right?!
- stoplying1 4y agoDo you actually checkin on it or do you just go off the armchair comments from other folks that clearly haven't tried it anytime recently? Hardware acceleration (webgpu, vaapi, etc in Firefox), support for embedded platforms, mixed mode DPI, 360Hz screen support, fractional (albeit suboptimal for now but perfectly fine) scaling (miss me with complaints about proprietary electron clients), vulkan support, and soon there will be considerably better scrolling support than in x11, maybe even full top-bottom support for fractional scaling the list just goes on and on. But yeah, if you want to use scale some ancient out of date Electron app, you might have to use Xwayland it might look bad under some compositors. Not really the end of the world. You can even easily use OBS to screen share to those apps these days.
