There has to be a better solution than this broken shit. KDE is completely removing X11 <6 months from now and I'm starting to panic. Wayland breaks shit and loses functionality of basic things. I don't want to move off of KDE either. This blows.

There's systemd/Linux and UNIX-like/Linux (dunno if GNU is jumping to systemd, otherwise I'd call this GNU/Linux). They are two different systems catering to different usecases. Pretending one is the future and the other is the past is a sad attempt by corpos to steer people who need UNIX-like into their systemd walled garden. Sadly, most (all?) major distros fell for it.

KDE is the only Wayland environment that actually works. It's the one place where modern technologies like VRR, fractional scaling and HDR (including with full ICC colour profile support now) all work properly.

GNOME is slowly catching up to it but KDE are pioneers.
>>
>>109087459
They're not. There are attempts to build an Xorg Server on top of Wayland. In the future your HPC cluster will be running its X11 shite on top of a Wayland display server and won't know or care.

>>
>>109087457
No. Usecases for UNIX-like are different, and often conflicting with usecases for systemd. Systemd tries to be a everything-service and make Linux standardized and uniform to benefit corpo interests/porting applications/etc. UNIX-like is composed of small interchangeable modules, which create the opposite of uniformization, but benefit for adapting Linux to anything from routers, to embedded car systems, to watches to anything really. Being UNIX-like is what made Linux grow into what it is today as opposed to Windows/Mac, which are uniform. That's what made them grow in desktop/laptop/user-friendly space. These are two completely different usecases completely opposite to each other.

>>109087571
No, you misunderstood me. Systemd is great for the problem it tries to solve. What I'm saying is that the problem is not "superseed UNIX". They are going a different way. Corpos are painting this as the only way because they want to take the option of going UNIX-way away from the user. So they frame it as the future and all that. But it's not. The future, unless they suceed in killing our freedom, is both projects diverge. Systemd does a great job at the path they want to follow: a unified Linux experience. UNIX does a great a his job: a modular Linux that can be adapted to any problem, and resiliently replace any part that decides to do something the admin doesn't want, like digital ID checks or whatever.

I'll say again. There are two different goals. Systemd is good at his goal. It's just not my goal.

Also bspwm is a dynamic tiling wm, you can choose your window size very easily but the real killer feature for me isn't the layout but its scriptability and the fact that it's just edits on a binary tree which is a nice structure to work with.

Also your config file is literally a script or whatever executable you want.

You can write your own Xcompmgr that supports HDR. Nobody bothered so far because it's useless meme technology.
There is nothing inherently broken with X11 that makes HDR impossible.

DPI is exposed via randr extension. Sabotaging toolkits deliberately choose to ignore it on X11. Hence not a X11 problem.

I hate KDE Wayland so much. To get anything close to the features Xorg provides you need to inject javascript over dbus, like getting the active window or taking a screenshot. Then you still lack basic functions like placing the cursor.

Same deal, as long as it is feasible i will keep using forks and running ebussified shit inside a standalone compositor.

That's why Trinity can be so jank sometimes, a lot of these systems have to be wrapped in compat/translation layers to work with current XDG standards. For example artsd is supposed to be the main interface for audio, but instead it goes through pulseaudio and that's why the mixer panel seems so lackluster.

we had these threads forever.

TLDR:
>X is shit, Wayland's design is retarded but still better than X and it's what we have (General Ebussy declared that anything not implemented by wayland has no use case), Wayland is just the protocol and features differ between implementations, Xlibre is a meme made by a nocoder and shilled by lundjew and his poltards followers. And it's 1991+35 and freetards still have no real display server.

>>109087456
It seems to me, that somehow poltards, maybe through lundjew or some "influencers" and that xlibre retard who made them believe wayland is le evil conspiracy by le evil redhat and troons that try to sabotage linux or whatever, are programmed to hate it. That pig lundjew even sent his goons to openbsd by making them believe it's some kind of chud OS, and some retard was /pol/luting the mailing list and talking about some "lunduke told me".

I know it might sound unrelated to TT, but all of this Wayland VS X drama has its root in this, while I won't deny that both of them suck, retards like OP are driven mainly emotionally, the same can be said about wayland fanatics that think X is the devil.

Qt supports that on X11, KDE just doesn't use it. You would think that a person that wrote a post on a KDE blog would know that.

At hospitals, PCs with a screensaver on mean "powered on, ready for use, and somebody is probably not using it." A lot of them have battery powered, WiFi connected PCs on carts so that the PCs can follow the doctors and nurses when necessary. At the hospital I try to avoid ever having to go to, picrel means "ready for action". Was kinda surprised you can still use it on modern Windows.

I just wanted to add, it seems to be a conscious IT decision to avoid sleeping and wakeup-related issues. Instead they just rotate carts in and out of service at predefined intervals, probably at shift start/end for the personnel using them. So, the reason some people care about screensavers is because they want explicit control over screen contents during non-usage, and they have concrete reasons for wanting to avoid using sleep.

every single freedesktop.org system without exception has been bullshit
* dbus is not a desktop bus. it lacks message ordering and canceling so the only way to check if an app is responding to its messages is to send a ping
* x11 had inter client messages. freedesktop.org said not invented here. instead they split the desktop session into multiple control streams
* in the 2000's it was briefly popular to not write code assuming networks and cores and every freedesktop.org decision is from then
* x11 security is a matter of whitelisting requests in an api gateway and using the window tree and x client id for more fine grained policies. this was implemented twice but rejected because gtk/qt would crash on a 403

* x server on terra
* file browser on luna
* ssh -X session on mars that opens the file browser
* user initiates 10 gigabyte file transfer from mars to luna then closes its laptop
* luna and mars finish the transfer before the file browser closes, or, luna stays online waiting for the user to log back in to tell the user about the error condition
terra is the users cell phone, luna is its desktop, mars is an aws ec2

>>109096385
not even an x fanatic, wayland has INSANE input lag across every implimentation.

switching KDE from x11 to wayland introduced input lag.
switching from i3 to sway introduced input lag.
switching gnome from x11 to wayland introduced input lag.
i tried hyprland too, that had input lag as well.

meanwhile, xfce and cinnamon over x11 do not have ANY input lag.
xlibre allows for lagless tearfree display, which is now enabled by default and works especially well on intel iGPUs.

nobody in any thread has ever had a fix for this, nobody is concerned with this, everyone has 500hz screens on their $2000 gaming laptops.

wayland constantly forces vsync and only allows disabling in fullscreen games (which doesnt work 100% of the time outside of hyprland window rules) and i need it disabled IN ALL APPLICATIONS, even windowed ones.

im willing to settle with having every app tear, but that is not good enough for wayland developers, who think that forcing vsync is absolutely amazing. look ma, no more tearing!

there are no options, no way to disable this, nothing.

the protocol is DESIGNED to increase input lag arbitrarily in the name of "no tearing" which you could already enable in x11 with a compositor or tearfree, but at least with x11 you have the option of preferring low latency over correctness.

fuck you and your wayland cult, i will not buy a new laptop because of a fucking update on my computer. my laptop has a 60hz display and any lag is extremely noticable. i choose uncomposited xorg over wayland any day.

Whats the difference though, if something works with wayland as opposed to literally being used by it, if the functionality is all the same for the end user. Why does wayland have to be the one that is actually recording?

Valve will likely keep x11, so they might just fork KDE

There's like full feature parity with X11 on KDE Wayland, what are you smoking retard?

NTA but there is no parity and there will never be parity because of the way Wayland is designed.

just have claude put it back for you bro, then post the patches in a git fork to f with them.
>>
>>109099959
> Whats the difference
Lack of standardization.
There are now 5 different incompatible ways to do screen sharing.
> functionality is all the same for the end user.
The end user now has to make sure the app is supported by the compositor and vice versa.
This mix and match overhead is responsible for most headaches for users of Wayland.
> Why does wayland have to be the one that is actually recording?
Wayland does essentially nothing.
Consequently it should be used by nobody.

I sort of recall seeing something like this last time I went to the github, but now I can't find anything like that on the current project page, perhaps this is something the author put behind them. However, right now the website does say:
>The XLibre projectis free of discriminatory policies. Anybody who's treating others nicely is welcome. Anybody who's interested in bringing X forward is welcome too.
To me, this signals that the project is very progressive, and sounds like exactly what you want. It sounds like anyone is allowed to contribute, regardless of race and gender.

I'm also not sure if being racist or transphobic is equal to that of being a Nazi, this would kind of be like calling someone a Liberal for supporting gay marriage. I'm sure the author doesn't consider themselves a Nazi, have you asked if they are a Nazi? I'm also not sure all Nazis would consider themselves facist.
