Dependencies: ...wayland-client... Nuts, I'm on xfce, and don't intend to switch over until it's necessary. Why is Wayland necessary for this?

  I mean... if you wanna keep using xorg, more power to you. But you can't expect developers to keep supporting it. Isn't XFCE moving to Wayland soon anyway?

  We really need a WaylandX, don't we? It shouldn't be that hard to make, since Wayland is a very limited protocol... I can't think of an ideological reason that apps shouldn't require Wayland that wouldn't apply to anything else. Isn't it just as bad for an app to require X11 or to require Linux or to require Windows or to require Android? You are free to port it to X11 or any other platform.

      Isn't that the opposite? A version of Xwayland?
      • snazz 1mo ago
        Yes, but (if I understand correctly) it would allow you to use your same X window manager (transparently under Xwayland) and run the odd Wayland application when needed.

        Hmm yeah I guess I addressed the goal and not the specific thing you mentioned. Oops.
