Sebastian WickInstead of taking any part in the monthly wayland bashing bullshit, you could just read about how electron, one of the last X11 bastions, has adjusted to wayland. Super important work!
spyke@swick The most of the post is about fighting GNOME's absence of server side decorations 😀
@spyke no, they are not fighting it, they are embracing it
@swick Without this "embracing" they could have switched to Wayland several years ago. Not being able to ask the compositor for basic decorations is an unnecessary backward compatibility issue. Podman doesn't look like GNOME and still is on X11. With the same effort it could have been Wayland for at least a year.
@spyke did you read the post?
@swick Of course, fully. That's why I am saying that Wayland already has a lot of breaking changes and not having SSDs only makes migration more difficult. And I am well aware of GNOME's position on that.
@spyke So you read it, and the part where they are now migrating because Chromium, which they depend on, turned on wayland by default. You presumably also used a Chromium based browser in the last few years which is obviously using CSD.
Yet you uttered those absolutely deranged sentences thinking that they might in any way shape or form be true?
@swick Chromium Wayland support appeared not yesterday. And its development has been so slow because it required too much changes at once. Of course, stating that more braking changes means more work is "deranged".
ROllerozxa@swick I'm happy about things gradually moving onto Wayland, but I still haven't figured out why Electron (and by extension anything Chromium) is washed out for me when running under Wayland...
Zło To 🏴☠️ ᵗʰʳᵉᵉᶠᶦᵈᵈʸ@swick if only electron apps were actually upgrading it. Arch repo has every electron version since 31 because there's some app requires it
disorderlyf@swick As much as I don't like Electron, I'm glad there will be less issues with it when I run apps using it on Sway.
If we really want to talk about the problems with electron, we've been going at getting devs to use other shit all wrong.
