Oh thank $deity I can still launch #Chrome with --ozone-platform=x11 even though the configuration flag has been removed. Because #Wayland breaks *so many things* for me.
Surely I'm not the only one seeing dropdowns, tooltips etc. render in top-left corner of my screen under Wayland?
#GNOME #FreeSoftware #OpenSource #FOSS #OSS #YouBrokeMyWorkflow #X11 forever

🤔 KDE Plasma 6 On Wayland Can Work Fine On FreeBSD - Phoronix
｢ The steps involve ensuring you are using the drm-kmod kernel graphics driver support, enabling the AMDGPU kernel graphics driver for AMD Radeon graphics, booting with D-Bus and seatd support enabled, and some other minor modifications ｣
Oh no. It's true: The mouse cursor image on Wayland is delayed by one frame. 😭
Proof: https://mort.coffee/home/wayland-input-latency/
Great explaination by @lina: https://lobste.rs/s/oxtwre/hard_numbers_wayland_vs_x11_input_latency#c_edq7tn
A failed attempt to fix this in @gnome: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/4249
It sounds like there is going to be a new kernel API that would allow updating the cursor independently and therefore earlier, but I couldn't find anything about that.

This is bizarre and cool: Term.Everything❗ is an X11 and Wayland Linux tool for running GUI programs in the terminal.

Adventures in porting a Wayland Compositor to NetBSD and OpenBSD by Jeff Frasca
I'm typing this in my Xuake Wayland Compositor on OpenBSD.
I started this journey on the NetBSD 9.99.x branch and ended up having to dig into the guts of wscons, mesa, libdrm, the kernel drm subsystem, the AMDGPU driver and more. I have a couple of very small, but hard fought patches in the NetBSD kernel. It's not over yet, either. I still have a few bugs around the compositor shutdown process and a lot of integration work to be able to hope to have other people try this out.
Topics to cover in the talk include (but are not limited to):
History of Wayland and other background info
How your graphics stack and driver is organized and actually works
The actual porting journey on both NetBSD and OpenBSD
A Demo! I should be able to show it running
Current status, future work

Very specific feature!
In desperate need for a Wayland compositor that permits this same feature I had on X11 with this DWM "combo" patch: Holding Super and pressing simultaneously 1 and 2 permits me to see both tags (~ workspaces) 1 and 2.
