I’ve heard the same thing about Wayland and NVidia’s drivers. To me, it seems like Wayland was designed to push all the hard work onto everybody else. That way Wayland never gets blamed for anything!
- charcircuit 1y agoNot having a defacto compositor was a major blunder and resulted in an enormous delay to the project, reputational damage, and numerous challenges for app developers.
- chongli 1y agoWhat I don’t get is why they pushed the compositor onto WM developers in the first place. Compositing seems like way too low level of a task for a window manager to be concerned with.
- hollerith 1y agoDo you mean default compositor?
- c-hendricks 1y agoI think they meant like a reference implementation, wlroots came a decade into Wayland
- charcircuit 1y agoI mean they should have made Weston production grade and extensible so that others can integrate with it instead of remaking their own compositors.
