Any reason why Xorg and not Wayland?

[-] theamigan@lemmy.dynatron.me 6 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

I run xorg on my desktops (especially my video transfer/editing workstation) and sway on my laptop. Wayland still has some seemingly intractable bugs and annoyances, if it even supports what you are trying to accomplish. I run it in hopes of helping it improve, but it's far from mature.

Xorg is compatible with Actiona

I know that's not a huge reason for most people but I have a lot of automations that run through it

picom doesnt support wayland and as I far as I know qtile doesnt have any compositor effects

I dont want to switch to another wm just to use wayland

also I dont understand why people are rushing to wayland, there are still bunch of issues and half of the shit runs on xwayland anyway - just give it a couple more years

I was just offering the other option. Feel free to use whatever you want!

They are a WIP

Probably because QTile.

I don't know if QTile has Wayland support, so my apologies if that's wrong.

[-] theshatterstone54@feddit.uk 4 points 10 months ago

Qtile has among the best Wayland support out there. It is kinda difficult to install the Wayland version, however.
