There's nothing vile about that, it's normal development practice. If you decide to make a code editor you're not making an app for artists, you're making an app for developers. That's a conscious choice you make wh

It's not dumbed-down to make apps that are focused around performing a specific task and making them easy to use. That's literally the entire purpose of designing apps. There's nothing else to it. iPhone and Android didn&#x27

X11 APIs have no security and they don't work in Wayland. Either one of those reasons is enough to avoid using them. Aside from that, it's the slowest and worst possible option in X11 because it copies the pixels into the socket.

I think you're missing that authors of tiling window managers don't actually want to go back to the X11 way of doing things. They don't want to write a basic window manager or a plugin. That abstraction boundary is bad and it

That's less and less relevant as GPUs and displays get faster. You might gain a trivial amount of latency in certain cases, with specific apps, at the cost of bringing back stuttering. The normal case is always going to be vsync. If yo

It's not a weakness or inflexibility in the Wayland protocol. There's no way to make it work there. They had to rework the way security is done, and that's a much bigger task that touches lots of other parts of the OS. I ke

No, that wasn't a mis-step and it wasn't the wrong policy. Wayland is primarily concerned with taking buffers and telling the GPU to put them on the screen. Buffer sharing between clients is more concerned with the opposite: takin

Wayland already meets all those points. And Plan9 doesn't use either X11 or Wayland. Why don't you take your own advice and switch to Plan9 if Linux is causing you problems? I'll also point out that your statement about being

I didn't tell you what to say. I asked you nicely. Notice I used the word "please." You can make all the arguments against Wayland you want. Promoting baseless conspiracy theories and verbal abuse calling other people morons

Global shortcuts and screenshots are already available as standard features. The problem with your thinking is the system needs to be designed to have security by default for it to have an chance of being secure. We know from X11 that &qu

Fight who's fire? The Wayland developers are former X11 developers, so you're accusing them of "shilling" against their own project?

No, with direct rendering the display server uses the same API as any other process that uses the GPU. The way to fix stuttering is to fix scheduling in the kernel. XGetImage is comparing apples to oranges. That doesn't use the GPU at

Then maybe some of those project maintainers should start a DE, and see first-hand how it's really difficult and requires making a lot of tough decisions that don't apply to other projects?

No. How would that even make sense? If you have no GNOME-related software on your computer at all then it won't affect it.

On a modern Linux distro a web browser installed from Flatpak/Snap will be sandboxed in a container. But you need to be using Wayland too (or setup a separate X11 sandbox) because X11 circumvents the container. Example code for it here

Even if you don't need any features in Wayland there are still benefits, it closes some security holes and it fixes some long-standing bugs in X. Of course it also creates some new bugs like your buggy nvidia driver.
