ok this is pretty nicesoon we're getting wayland running over vulkanhttps://www.phoronix.com/news/Wayfire-0.10-Released
>>106433936All wlroots compositors have been able to run with WLR_RENDERER=vulcan for a while now, including the master branch of Wayfire. The only reason we’re seeing this on the stable version this late is because Wayfire makes like 1 release a year.
>>106434109I (and by extension, many other stable-enjoying anons) never run anything but stable
>>106433936Is wayland actually faster/more performant on modern hardware that supports vulkan?Because on older hardware it is definitely much slower.
>>106434626I'd be interested in knowing this too but the reasonable assumption to make would be that it is faster.
How does this one compare to labwc?
>>106434626>>106434637and that's probably got a lot to do with the driver quality on modern vs old hw.Newer hardware obv has better supported drivers.
Perhaps I'll pass
>>106434626>>106434637No, there is no reason why it would be faster. A compositor doesn't do complex work. It's just simple 2d rectangles with compositing. HDR as well is just simple shaders. There is nothing vulkan can improve in this.
>>106433936Does this remove Wayland input latency?
>>106436146vsync always adds latency so no
>>106436335So it's still unusable, got it. Not an issue on Windows btw.
>>106436363wayland vsync has lower latency than windows vsync. But anyways, the lowest latency you can get is if you use x11 with no compositor and no vsync. It's lower latency than windows.
>>106436146Doesn't exist
>>106436146Valve fixed that but only certain Wayland compositors use it
>>106436363Every latency guide on Windows tells you to do -3fps to avoid the Vsync penalty.
Gnome doesn't have this already?
>>106433936>experimental what does this word even me anymore
>>106433936go away wayland shill
>>106436115The main benefit would be if drivers start dropping opengl support, even though there are already opengl > vulkan translation layers it would be dumb for the fucking compositor to need a translation layer to work
>>106436495>>106437130
>>106438405The windows compositor doesn't even use what's usually meant as vsync, it uses triple buffering just like xorg's tearfree option does which has way better latency than vsync
>>106433936Wait I thought wayland always ran on vulkan. This is like 15 year old technology why are they just now getting it
>>106438460that's just how linux is.
I think Wayfire and LabWC are super cool
>>106438546Why
>>106438655CHICKEN THIGH!
>>106438460supporting vulkan in wayland is not the same as the wlroots compositor having an option to render the display through it
