@nanook@friendica.eskimo.com are you saying that X11 forwarding like function is impossible for #Wayland? I now feel lucky I didn't convert

Two weeks of Wayback: first alpha release in a few weeks
Alpine Linux maintainer Ariadne Conill only started working on Wayback a few weeks ago, but in a blog post today they dive into a few more details about how much progress has already been achieved. To refresh your memory, Wayback allows you to run a legacy X11-based desktop environment on top of Wayland by running a stub Way

Whoa: Weston, the reference compositor for #Wayland, supports multiple physical independent mice at the same time! 😀
"New mouse, who dis?"
(I'll write up how to do this later!)
Two mouse cursors (that look like turtles) play with terminal windows. They can move them independently of each other!
🐧 Wayback Hopes To Be Ready Next Year With Alpine Linux Planning To Use It By Default • Phoronix
Did you know that #MaomaoWM not only has animations, blur and rounded corners but it also has the following layouts:
- Tile
- Scroller
- Monocle
- Grid
- Dwindle
- Spiral
- Deck
And it also has vertical options for those layouts too.

#TilingWindowManager #Wayland
I’m lining up episodes of The IT Guy Show covering X11 and Wayland — their quirks, legacy, and the future of the Linux desktop.
If you’ve worked with either (or both!), or just have strong real-world opinions on the state of display servers in Linux, I’d love to have you on.
Reach out or if you want, nominate someone awesome!

@Chris1776@bsd.cafe I also noticed #wayland got pulled in as dependency very early when I was trying to setup #Xorg
Wayback: experimental layer to run X desktop environments on Wayland
With X.org being in maintenance mode, with the process of replacing it with Wayland accelerating pretty quickly now, a lot of projects using X.org are looking for ways to prepare for the future. Alpine Linux, a distribution focused on musl, BusyBox, and OpenRC, also wants to reduce its maintenance bur
I can't use #Wayland with my #Linux system. Performance is terrible.
I have a 2021 Lenovo P17Gen1.
It has both an Intel P630 and NVIDIA RTX3000 Mobile GPU, running as a Prime pair.
It has a 4K eDP display, and two LG 4K displays, one connected via USB-C, and one via DP, via a TB3 Dock, all running at 60Hz.
It has 128GB of RAM, and 4TB of striped BTRFS SSD.
I am running the latest #Hyprland.
I tried running on #Arch, which cut the frame rate worse than half ANY time I connected an external 4K display ANYWHERE on either the laptop, or dock, DP, or USB-C. It refused to work via HDMI.
Switched to #Ubuntu and use Koolit's #Ubuntu installer for Hyprland. Performance is close to 60fps, but not quite. Stutters, and OBS runs at an average of 10fps, regardless of whether #PipeWire is in use, or not. Unusable.
I have been a #Linux user since September of 1991, and I can't even begin to know where the FK to go to even diagnose this problem, due to the sheer number of variables.
Is it the NVIDIA drivers?
Is it Wayland?
Is it Hyprland?
Is it Pipewire?
Why is the performance better on #Ubuntu than on #Arch?
If I were to use Wayland, what COMPARABLE GPU would I use instead?
Do I just completely jettison using a laptop and build a workstation instead?
Why in the flying FK can I not get stable vsync?!
I am posting this, because I am genuinely looking for knowledgable answers from knowlegable people, and I am VERY concerned, that given the mass exodus from Xorg to Wayland, that I need to figure out something before I end up with a system configuration that is unusable.

📐 KiCad Advises Linux Users to Stick with X11 for Professional PCB Design
｢ According to KiCad’s devs, the frustrating reality is that these problems aren’t within KiCad’s control. Wayland was intentionally designed without certain features to prioritize security and simplicity, leaving application developers in a bind ｣
