Yeah, as you may gather from my first post, I am not advocating anyone to switch if there's nothing in Wayland for them. But at least with wlroots-based compositors (a decent number of them, but notably not GNOME and KDE which use Mutter and Kwin respectively,) you can definitely do this sort of thing relatively easily. It'd probably be a good idea if every compositor got on the same page here so that the experience is consistent. I'm not sure how to do this kind of thing with every compositor.
- hulitu 3y agoDoes xv runs in wailand ? xpdf ? fvwm2 ? xterm ? xsnow ? Does wailand supports window managers ?
- jchw 3y agoX11 apps run under XWayland, an X server that runs under Wayland compositors, almost always by default. It's possible to run WMs under XWayland too, but most Wayland compositors are WMs and handle the WM for XWayland too. Wayland doesn't have a single display server. Most of what was the X11 display server is moved to the kernel and libraries. So, the WMs ARE the display server. xv, xpdf, xterm should work fine. xsnow should work, but will only see X windows. fvwm2, it can run on some Wayland compositors, but the better option here would be a compatible replacement: as far as I know, we still don't have an fvwm2 equivalent, but SwayWM exists as a replacement for i3, for example.
