Screen recording works, even with OBS studio. What popular wayland native app is dependent on xorg?
> half-decent compositors.
At which point there was no point of X11 middle-maning between the compositor and apps -> tada Wayland it is.
Also, screen tearing is a bigger issue on bigger resolution higher refresh rate monitors, hardware just grew up to 1080@60fps.
- GauntletWizard 4y agoThere's a ton of apps that are not Wayland native at all yet, and plenty that never will be because of the dubious security benefits. Chrome, for an example. Firefox isn't much better.
- kaba0 4y agoChrome is as wayland native as xorg native it is. It has backends for both. The same is true for Firefox. And no one ever said that every program will have to move to Wayland, XWayland was created specifically for legacy applications to be usable that won’t port over. (Though their number is limited, since most applications use a framework like gtk/qt/electron whatever and all of those natively support wayland without changing the programs).
