Hey all.
Is there a project roadmap that is updated? Mostly looking to see the
projects perspectives on things like Wayland for example?
I know that X11 is still around, but its development isn't exactly lively
anymore.
I'm no specialist, but I thought Wayland would have to offer some way for
software created for X11 to continue working.
archwiki has an article about Wayland:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/wayland
From there:
"For compatibility with native X11 applications to run them seamlessly,
Xwayland can be used, which provides an X Server in Wayland.
4 Xwayland
Xwayland is an X server that runs under Wayland and provides compatibility
for native X11 applications that are yet to provide Wayland support.
Note:
Security: Xwayland is an X server, so it does not have the security
features of Wayland
Performance: Xwayland has a nearly identical performance to that of X11.
In some cases you might notice degraded performance, especially on NVIDIA
cards.
Compatibility: Xwayland is not fully backward compatible with X11. Some
applications may not work properly under Xwayland."
Bottom line: Xwayland is the workaround for X11 applications that have not
been ported to Wayland yet, but Xwayland is way inferior to X.Org.
Gianluca
Otherwise that would mean that any software not "updated" for Wayland would be
unusable - and If Linux distribution go that way, I can't follow.
So what for would TDE ever need to care about Wayland?
