Neloj<p><span>I'm trying a compositor called Wio, i never used Plan9 but if this is how Rio works on Plan9 then i like it, keeping in mind that Wio doesn't implement all the features that Rio has. The most interesting thing about the design of Wio is that when you make a window by defult opens a terminal and in there you run your graphical program, so i'm thinking, wouldn't be neat that you could switch between the terminal and graphical preview, and and then came to my mind "why not allow to do that on the compositor it self" because sometimes happens that the compositor breaks and you are locked in the sence that you can't change to another tty.<br>Idk i think that would be neat.<br></span><a href="https://hollow.raccoon.quest/tags/wayland" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#wayland</a> <a href="https://hollow.raccoon.quest/tags/unix" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#unix</a> <a href="https://hollow.raccoon.quest/tags/plan9" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#plan9</a></p>

OSNews<p>Wayback 0.1 released</p><p>Wayback, the recently announced tool that will allow you to run a legacy X11 desktop environment on top of Wayland, has just announced its first release, version 0.1. As the version number implies, there be dragons here, but the developers state some of them already use Wayback on a day-to-day basis. Still, there's no multi-monitor support yet, quite a few X.org options are just stubs for now, </p><p><a href="https://www.osnews.com/story/142878/wayback-0-1-released/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">osnews.com/story/142878/waybac</span><span class="invisible">k-0-1-released/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Wayland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Wayland</span></a></p>
