What is happening, bros?

I thought that Wayland was a meme and Xorg would just remain because Wayland wouldn't take off!
>>
>>93662977
The powers that be have chosen wayland. It will replace X and there is nothing anyone can do to stop it.
>>
>>93663644
There is something, someone can do, maintain X.
Nobody is interested in doing that though.

Xorg now gets barely any git commits at all. It's dead.
If I were in the "Wayland sux!" camp, I'd be seriously looking at forking Xorg right now but nobody is willing to step up to do that.
>>
>>93663724
X does not exist in a vacuum. The entire ecosystem will move to Wayland. No point improving X if no software is written for it anymore.
>>
>>93663788
Yes, that's why the Wayland hate brigade needs to step up and do some actual work.
They'll see X11 disappear forever otherwise.
If they actually do some real work (which none of the former developers that are now Wayland developers want to do for obvious reasons) then maybe they can save it.

There's too much wrong with it in my opinion though, and there's nobody that knows the code well enough and wants to improve it.
>>
>>93663818
I think that right now we are in a point of no return. Xorg enthusiasts had 15 years to improve Xorg and now that Wayland caught up they just cry more.
>>
>>93663953
I agree but they seem pretty adamant that Wayland is shit.
If they actually maintained Xorg or forked it they could present a case that "X is back!" and talk about all of the exciting features and functionality they're adding to it.

They won't though.

Every failure of X11 traces back to a deliberate design decision. You can't fix it without making something fundamentally new and we're already going through that change now with Wayland. Nobody is going to want to do it again even if your technology is technically superior.
>>
>>93663953
wayland still feels weird to me, an idiot ubuntu user that treats it like windows with a package manager. Xorg for whatever reason things work more as I'd expect them to. like copy and paste and other things, although it's good to see OP's pic because wine is my main issue with it
>>
>>93664014
Copy & Paste works fine.
The issue of it being weird is actually because of older applications still using XWayland (compatibility layer for X11 apps).

When everything uses Wayland, the clipboard works well and as you'd expect.

When some things use XWayland then sometimes you end up with clipboard items in the XWayland clipboard that aren't present in the Wayland clipboard. This is weird, but perfectly normal.
>>
>>93662977
>have no software
>build a compatibility layer to run the competitors software

lmao loonixfags are delusional
>>
>>93664014
The only problem with "copy-paste" on Wayland I have is with middle-click. It sometimes works or not work within Xwayland apps.

But actual clipboard always work fine.
>>
>>93664062
There are now more Wayland applications running on a typical Linux desktop than legacy applications running via XWayland.

All GTK apps support Wayland
All Qt apps support Wayland
Electron apps that actually get updated and aren't literal walking security threats have support for Wayland

What's left is literally Steam and Java apps, and the crappy toys like Xeyes that were built to demonstrate X11 features.

They didn't make the stupid design decision that the clipboard belongs to the application and disappears afterwards.

Then replace Wayland with native Linux apps and it still stands.
We do actually have a lot of software.
We're missing alternatives for some software (a good Photoshop alternative comes to mind) but for the most part most of the software you'd use on Windows, likely has a Linux alternative.

Most people are only using Wine to run games or productivity software. There's a few professionals that use it for audio software (e.g to run Windows VSTs and effects) but for the most part you don't need Wine.
>>
Pain points of Linux for me are basically:

-Autocad
-Photoshop/Aftereffects

For Autocad I have another laptop from my old company when I need to see something really important, and I'm using Photoshop with Wine.
>>
>>93664144
This can be fixed in userspace under x, whereas in wayland its completely up to the server to do, or not do.

Do what exactly? It already works fine for me. People aren't going to randomly drop X11 code anytime soon. We're at least a full decade from that happening if not more.

>>
>>93664640
Right now, X11 still supports more usecase than wayland. At some point this may reverse, but it's been 15 years.
>>
>>93664260
It was/is though. Every issue people complain about with X could have been fixed by the server. But nobody dared touch it, because they were scared of breaking anything, paradoxically
>>
what are the alternatives? is there a third option? makes sense to properly develop wayland at this point.
>>
>>93664689
Arcan.
It makes more sense to properly develop Wayland though. People don't want to go through yet another display server change.
(in Arcan's case they just added Wayland compatibility to it)
>>
>>93664658
Those usecases are getting fewer and fewer every day.

Right now it's down to:
>You want your whole desktop to tear all of the time instead of just for fullscreen applications
>You need limited/subpar colour management support for professional applications
>(the support X11 has is better than Wayland but not good enough, we can and should do better)

Password managers that autofill field don't work. Embedding foreign windows also still doesn't work. There's more. Yes, there's less gaps than a couple of years ago, but it's there's still a long way to go.
>>
>>93664768
>Password managers that autofill field don't work
That can be done with the text input method protocols.
You could have something like the way 1Password works on macOS (going from memory, it's been a while where I last used it), where you type a global hotkey like Ctrl+/ and it opens up a little widget, you select the account and then it autofills the password.

Global hotkey support is iffy right now but that's being addressed.

Cadence Virtuoso, Maple, Mathematica, Matlab, and a lot of other commercial software that supports X11 do not support Wayland.
Other software like Blender is of alpha quality.
Then there's software like Sublime or anything based on Chromium that requires special flags or environment variables because of all the bugs and blockers they still have on Wayland.
And other software like emacs that "works" by falling back to slow software rendering instead of using xrender.

X is dead anon. It's been dead for a decade. People have been using a rotten corpse. It's time to move on. Stop being a retarded conservative clinging on to outdated trash. X is dead and we are better off from it. The old ways are OLD for a reason. No longer relevant. Toss them into the trash where they belong and progress to the future. Wayland is that future.
Nice thing about open source is that we don't have to worry about being chained down by a bunch of conservative minded retards. There are no chains. We can leave you in the dust and let you die.

Sooner or later things will stop working and you'll be faced with two options. Embrace progress by moving to Wayland or left to wander in your own suffering. The choice is yours anon. The rest of us will be enjoying Wayland like the same, rational people we are.

The whole FOSS community couldn't care less about Wayland.
Additionally Wine devs think porting Wine to Wayland is completely retarded because all you will do is reinvent X11.
Collabora consultant paid by anonymous source: "I'll do it anyways".

It's clearly not a community effort, so who is funding this shit?
>>
>>93668593
We do work with nouveau but nouveau can't progress any further from Nvidia encrypting their firmware. If you care about freedom, which clearly you don't since you don't support communal work, you would ditch Nvidia for more open alternatives. We will not be shackles to the whims of a single capitalist company. Just like we won't be shackles to the whim of backwards minded conservtards like yourself clinging onto a dead corpse called x11.

I understand you hate change and progress but luckily open source allows us to leave you filthy behind. We are not stuck to your outdated practices.

There is plenty of interest in maintaining X. There is just no funding.
Wayland on the other hand has plenty of funding but zero community interest.
>>
>>93668640
Perfection takes time. We are not capital focused so we don't have to hurry up and rush buggy things out. We are building a foundation to last into the next century. Not producing something for quick capital regain now. Wayland IS the future and because of that it has to last into the next century and beyond. A stable foundation with protocols designed to allow it to adapt to future technologies. Without the need to duct tape and glue on hacky ways new things like was the biggest problem with X11.

We are striving for greatness. Not short term gain.

You spelled Wayland wrong.
All Design decisions are absolutely retarded. It starts with forced composition, two mandatory buffer swaps and ends with idiotic and opinionated ways to force a specific render loop design.

And needless to say if you actually have talent you could be contributing to Wayland to benefit the community at large instead of being selfish only thinking of yourself and your desires. But no, to spite Wayland and the overarching community you are going to cling onto dead x11 and then go your own way instead of joining the community to further progress Wayland.
Then you whine about Wayland not having X or Y. You whine about Wayland but do nothing to join the community in further improving Wayland. You are like Gretta thunberg with:

No you can't. There is severe gate keeping and everything that prevents Collabora and Igalia from getting more consulting gigs will not be merged. This has been shown time and time again.

That's your assumption. Wayland core principle is fundamentally broken, which is why you can't make any significant wayland application. If you want to make real wayland software you have to use kde/gnome/wlroots/gamescope/weston/etc specific api. This is by design, unlike x11.

Nobody wants to "maintain" X because it works. Software doesn't magically stop working just because it doesn't receive commits.

The fact that Wayland still hasn't reached feature parity with X11 despite the latter not receiving commits just makes Wayland look even worse.
>>
>>93664043
The problem is, a significant amount of applications will never ever move to Wayland as they're too old and not maintained anymore, they will be permanently stuck with X11 despite being very useful.

This design was done for a good reason. The clipboard is not only for text, it's for anything. If you copy a large image or even a video, then you dont want to unnecessarily use tons of ram when it's not needed so x11 applications stream the clipboard data to applications that request it. Just run a clipboard manager if you want clipboard text specifically to be saved when an application closes. This is why wayland is slow actually. I got a bug report from a wayland user that used a program to save an image in clipboard and then tried to paste it into my program and the image was corrupted. Turns out that it takes a few seconds for the image to be copied to clipboard on wayland, o he was pasting in an incomplete image. On x11 this is instant since it doesn't copy image data to x11 server when you "set" clipboard.

so? this is a problem that's been solved for DECADES on windows. I have been copying and pasting images for years and not once have I encountered any kind of slowdown.
Typical case of linuxtrannies cannot implement basic features so they just throw their hands up, say it's impossible, cite some bogus performance problems and just use a half baked solution like "haha just erase the clipboard when you close an app!"

What are the benefits to using wayland over x11?

> like the initd and python 2 dorks who screamcried
The python 2 to 3 transition was obviously a total disaster in retrospect. Millions of man hours wasted for questionable benefit. The "screamcriers" were right.
The same can be said for the init debate. Systemd is clearly a Microsoft sponsored psyop to disrupt and destroy the FOSS community. Poettering is now working for Microsoft. This should tell you all.
It's still unclear who is funding the whole Wayland propaganda. Maybe you can tell me. Or are you a paid shill as well?

Take your 90's boomer schizo theories on the way out with x11. Microsoft has done more for open source than you and the rest of you whiners ever will for the sum total of your lives.
>>
>>93666838
It is though. Features like virtual desktop emulation and such will never work. In fairness, these are cases that most people probably don't give a fuck about, but wine-wayland will be limited for sure.
>>
>>93677133
Explain how virtual desktop emulation won't work.
>>
>>93677158
It requires absolute window positioning which wayland can't do and probably will never be able to do.
>>
>>93677295
Why do you need window positioning. If you badly need these then petition your DE to add this to their compositor. Wayland doesn't need to be a monolithic mess like X11 was.
>>
>>93677366
why can't you read my original post instead of making arguments for no reason? I'm just telling you that wine-wayland won't be 1-to-1 in features with the x11 driver. If you care or not, that's for you to decide.
>>
>>93677366
Waylandfah with goldfish memory can't even remember the post he replied to
>>
>>93677412
If you don't need a feature then it's redundant. I'm sure you can have virtual desktop support without needing to know window positioning
>>
>>93677076
> muh schizo theories
EEE was a conspiracy theory as well and was then confirmed as true in the Helloween documents.
It is clear as day that Wayland is obvious sabotage. Why else would you need paid shills (confirmed) to push this garbage.

Microsoft didn't fund not design Wayland you inbred mongrels. Wayland was MADE by X11 developed when they realized X11 was fundamentally broken.

> Wayland was MADE by X11 developed when they realized X11 was fundamentally broken.
Repeating the same lie doesn't make it true.
Wayland was "invented" by a lowly intern at INtel. The only "X11 developer" pushing Wayland and shitting on X11 is Daniel Stone. The guy who makes money with consulting contracts "fixing" Wayland.
The most significant X11 contributors like Keith Packard and Allan Coopersmith never even touched Wayland.
>>
>>93679866
Indeed. Repeating the lie Microsoft is behind Wayland doesn't make it true you incel mongrel.

I went back to X to see how it was working and it is shit I'm never ever using X again, I was playing Subnautica and the screen saver fucking activated this doesn't happen on Wayland, played an RPGMaker game (Hentai) and every time I pressed Z the screen went blue until it went dark, again it works on Wayland, I played a Unity game on full screen and X change my screen resolution to 480p again Wayland just work because it isolate every fucking window, I'm never fucking using Xorg and you poor fags can keep your shitty stinkpads because that's the only place where Xorgs works (barely too) bye have a good day!

>I played a Unity game on full screen and X change my screen resolution to 480p
I guess this is supposed to be a shitpost but it's really amusing to me that you cited this as a supposed downside. I've played a few really old games that have super low resolutions (something under 480p) and was quite grateful for this behavior. Trying to upscale that to my 4k monitor would have been very stupid and would have looked horrible. The only thing I had to do was set the pixelmonitor option or whatever it was call to preserve the aspect ratio while it was full screen and it just worked. I guess on a wayland compositor, these things would have been needed be run manually or so. Not sure what would happen.
>>
>>93681583
Wayland doesn't upscale anything if you play old games at lower resolution, it just play the game at one resolution and your OS keep the other resolution and if you want to upscale the game you can use gamescope which is wayland only too Xorg doesn't support having full screen apps at a different resolution than the OS so it just lower your desktop resolution to the games and that's a fucking stupid hack
>>
>>93682067
You're literally just making things up in this post. Shouldn't you be ashamed of yourself? Fullscreening an application that is at a lower resolution than the display is always an upscale. This has nothing to do with wayland or not. Your compositor cannot magically make this process not happen. Changing the resolution of the monitor (i.e. a modeset) is the only way around this if you do not wish to upscale and want the application to be displayed at fullscreen.

Wayland consumes a bit less resources on old hardware too.

Wayland is the worst thing to happen to linux in the last decade. Everything used to just work, but now everything is even more fragmented than ever because wayland toddlers HAVE to use shiny new thing instead of just works trustable old thing.
