What do you miss the most from #Xorg in #Wayland at the moment?
For me it's probably system wide keyboard shortcuts.
I used to be addicted to CopyQ, it's an amazing clipboard manager. But if you don't want to use the mouse to hit a small target all the time, you really need keyboard shortcuts to use it. So now I use a Gnome extension clipboard manager, which is ok, but don't have the option to save tons of clips sorted in different tabs, which saved me so much time in #CopyQ. #Linux
@probono oooof! :(
@probono @forteller so much FUD and semi-outdated stuff.
* remote desktop and screen sharing works using portals. RustDesk, Teamviewer, RDP/VNC offered via DE
* ...and Waypipe replaces ssh -X
* redshift can be replaced by Gnome/KDE/etc builtins
* Xfce is working on Wayland support
* smaller DEs and WMs don't have to reinvent the wheel if they use wlroots
* citing a three year old blog as the proof that Wayland "breaks" BSD?
* lots of "Wayland breaks gaping-security-hole-abused-as-a-feature"
@bitpirate if you read through, "foo can be replaced by Gnome/KDE/etc bar" is *precisely* the mindset that I criticize. We don't want to change half our stack just because some people decided they want to push another display server.
@probono "some" in this context are the very same people who kept the XServer alive for years. It's not a hostile takeover attempt by a bunch of Silicon Valley juppies that want to break stuff for the sake of it.
The XServer is a hodgepodge of legacy graphic routines and patches. But the biggest problem is that it's *architecturally* unfit for what it needs to do today and more so in the future.
If you completely change the way a display server works, breakage is sadly inevitable.
