oh i remember this. it was that guy who thought he could fix xorg by himself, and ended up breaking it further. then accused gnome of being "dei" when they kicked him out lol

I wonder if i will continue to use Regular Wayland rather then Wayback if it goes stable.

[-] LeFantome@programming.dev 3 points 13 hours ago

Well, if you use Wayback, I am not sure you can use Wayland applications. Hoping somebody can confirm or deny this.

This is exciting news, would love to be able to go back to using my beloved awesomewm without ditching wayland

[-] LeFantome@programming.dev 2 points 13 hours ago

I think you effectively would be ditching Wayland though as I do not think you can run Wayland applications.

I am trying to understand the difference between Wayback and running Xwayland in Cage.

I’m Wayback, will I still be able to run Wayland applications? Or am I literally just running an Xserver that uses Wayland for the DDX layer?

Cage is designed around running a single maximized application. Wayback is meant to run an entire x11 desktop environment.

Not sure about the second part.

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.
