At least it isn't Wayland, or having to mix and match configurations until hardware video decoding on Chrome finally works.

- hparadiz 5mo agoWayland is a protocol. Not a program. The top compositors right now for desktop are KDE Plasma, Hyprland, Gnome/Mutter and all of them implement the Wayland protocol independently. For game wrappers Valve makes Gamescope (https://github.com/ValveSoftware/gamescope https://github.com/ValveSoftware/gamescope) which is also a Wayland compositor. When you run a game through a wrapper like GameScope it will draw to the Wayland Server that GameScope is running and then that subsequently writes to the parent display server (which can actually be X or Wayland). Anyway it's a far superior and more secure protocol than whatever Windows is doing and you should for sure have ChatGPT explain it to you.
