Generally speaking, #Xwayland should be avoided for gaming where possible (which still isn't always possible, especially until Steam fix their overlay). The high latency people experience after switching from #X11 to #Wayland does not come from Wayland itself, but the indirection of this legacy […]

There currently are two recent #Phoronix articles that are shared widely, comparing #KDE KWin 6.6 vs #Gnome Mutter 50 in terms of game performance (one for AMD, one for Nvidia). What it lacks to me is a disclosure whether this is comparing the pure #Wayland compositor performance or more […]

I am proud to present the clipboardstealer, written in #rust (which is a clipboardmanager for the #terminal in an #X11 / #xwayland environment in #linux). It can be found at crates.io/crates/clipb... . Let me know what you think. #clipboardmanager

GNOME 50 entfernt den Code für X11 Auch wenn uns X11 noch einige Jahre begleiten wird, schwenken zunehmend Distributionen und Desktops auf Wayland um. Mit GNOME 50 verschwindet X11 komplett aus der GNOME Shell.

A los lloricas de #X11: existe #XWayland para las mierdas antediluvianas que todavía quedan.

Did somebody else notice that clipboard sharing in #KDE on #FreeBSD between #Wayland and #XWayland does not work?
That means Wayland applications only see the last clipboard content copied from another Wayland application, #X11 applications only see content copied from #X11 applications (two […]

I don't understand the point of Wayback, given that Xwayland already runs fine on various Wayland compositors.

So… yesterday was the first time I used the screenshare feature with #Discord on #Wayland without piping it through a #xwayland bridge or a virtual webcam first and it just worked. Even for hours.

Yes yes "Discord bad" but damn… I'm happy that this finally works. That was like a roadblock […]
