I remember Wayland scared me off of Linux when I tried to switch to Ubuntu a few years ago. I couldn’t watch a movie without jiggling my mouse every few minutes. At the time I feel like it was like “yeah that feature doesn’t exist yet” or something. So I switched back to Windows. It looks like there’s workarounds now but I’ve mostly switch to my fantastic M1 MacBook Air at this point.
- QuercusMax 10mo agoWayland still doesn't support screensavers last I checked, which is wild to me. Truly bizarre that such longstanding feature is just absent.
- jml7c5 10mo agoIt's a matter of designing and proprosing a protocol for it. X11's screensaver support was also a protocol extension. There probably hasn't been much interest in it because screens can easily be powered off remotely, which was not the case in 1992.
- igneo676 10mo agoYeah, most of those real gaps have been solved at this point. I'd encourage you to give it a shot now with Avahi
