To get to the base case?

Nobody said that, don't put words in my mouth <3

Friends don't let friends use the shitty fash compositor <3

it's me, i'm the worst there is 🥰

i uhhh hhh uhmmm uhhh

fuck you

but also so true bestie ✨

honestly i kinda get their reasoning... it's extra jank, extra complexity and a maintenance burden that shouldn't be necessary if apps stopped dragging their feet about proper wayland support. niri instead focuses on the rest of the experience and honestly? they're doing a pretty great job because it's super fuckin comfy to use and customize, at least for me.

xwayland-satellite is the recommended way to run X11 apps, which are unfortunately still many, on niri. is that "setting my house on fire"? really confused here.

yeah really confused about that reply too. is using anything other than Gnome on Wayland "setting the house on fire"?

but i do have xwayland. please read my comment again.

mostly windows going blank or straight up refusing to show

issue closed != issue resolved though. it worked "a few" weeks ago for me too, and now it doesn't. other people in fedi and one in that issue have the same problem, so it's not like i'm alone with some weird setup here.

also i should note, although i did that in the linked issue, that other xwayland compositors do work. they're just way more janky for running X11 apps seamlessly. so i'm not convinced the issue is elsewhere. i just didn't press the issue out of respect for the maintainer and the only productive thing to do at this point would be to submit a patch if i am indeed right.
