Reassessing Wayland
(dudemanguy.github.io)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Is there a tiling Wayland compositor out there that supports applying custom shaders to windows (similar to picom)? This has been a known limitation for many years. And I brought it up myself with a couple of compositors' developers, and they told me that it would break direct scan-out, and I told them that I would be fine with that, and then discussions fizzled out.
I also tried an x11vnc alternative I don't remember the name of, and besides the generally buggy experience, it completely broke when power management kicked on the sever side (turning off the monitor IIRC). So that's another show stopper, although maybe not as relevant as custom shader support which I need for applying my custom color inversion shaders to specific windows, otherwise, my vision would go bad quickly.
So yeah, I will be sticking with my Awesome WM (+picom +x11vnc) setup for a while too.
