- donio 2y agoThe extension situation is already much worse in Wayland than in X11. In my X11 server there are about 25 extensions and only a handful are required for modern desktop functionality. Wayland already has well over a hundred extensions (protocols) and dozens of them have to be implemented by each compositor just to get basic stuff working. https://wayland.app/protocols/ https://wayland.app/protocols/
- mdedetrich 2y agoI have a news flash for you, the situation with extensions in Wayland is ten times worse than X11. Wayland requires an extension for what used to be considered basic functionality in a desktop environment.
