I'm willing to try some wayland compositor, but I would need some advice to find adequate replacement for my usual X11 utilities.

• the compositor/window manager : some tiling one, ideally close to herbstluftwm (hyprland, unless you've got a better match)
• a tool to set up some custom keyboard map, like xmodmap
• a key binding handler like sxhkd, able to manage key chains (bindings with prefix)
• a customizable menu like rofi or dmenu
• a bar like polybar : maybe waybar ?
• a notification service
• a tools to adjust screen luminosity, like xblacklight
• a transparency fitter, like transset
• a replacement for xset dpms, to put the screen to spleep

Any ideas are welcome !

I have heard the dismissal, I have been told I don't matter, I have been told I'm a edge case.

But I'm telling you wayland, I chafe at you taking away my optionality.

Sometimes I ~need~ that feature, and when I need it, I need it bad !

I understand that the IBM money pouring into wayland is super happy about the linux world losing network transparency for apps, stripping power users of their inconvenient toys.

But I'm telling you, I need it.

No, waypipe isn't it.

~~Also, no longer having distinct window managers from the compositor give me serious bad vibes but this isn't what this is about~~

TEXT VERSION HERE: https://thelibre.news/wayland-has-a-bright-future-ahead/

has anyone tried it on wayland? are there any other screensavers for wayland? AFAIK this is the only screensaver that works on wayland.

This article discusses a fallback tab dragging implementation for compositors who don't support xdg-toplevel-drag.

They say that Gnome doesn't support it, but Gnome does support it: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/4107.

One of the quickest ways to determine whether particular application runs using Xwayland is to resize one of its windows and see how it behaves, for example

While it can be handy for the debugging purposes, overall, it makes the KDE Plasma Wayland session look less polished. So, one of the goals for 6.3 was to fix this visual glitch.

This article will provide some background behind what caused the glitch and how we addressed it.

This full packed release comes with three new staging protocols:

• system bell - allowing e.g. terminal emulators to hand off system bell alerts to the compositor for among other things accessibility purposes

• fifo - for implementing first in first out surface content update behavior

• commit timing - for adding time constraints to surface content update

Other than this, the presentation timing protocol protocol got a version minor bump describing how to deal with variable refresh rate.

Other protocols saw the regular clarifications and bug fixes, and some deprecated events is now properly indicated as such in the XML. Please see individual commits for details.

Hey guys, I've been using tiling wms for a long time and today I decided to try floating wms. Do you guys know any Wayland floating wm?
