But the Wayland protocol requires a compositor, so here we are.
- vincent-manis 2y agoI have no idea of the difference(s) in performance between wlroots and Gnome's compositor. Protocols do not have performance, implementations do. If someone can prove that the Wayland protocol, on a certain set of tasks, and in a certain environment, has a better or worse performance than the X11 protocol, then it might be possible to make abstract comparisons on protocol. Given that Gnome runs on both X and Wayland, it might be interesting to hear from the Gnome authors on the performance differences.
