Re: Project Roadmap? Wayland Support?

[John Cassidy via tde-users <users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Good evening:

I usually install KDE plasma and Wayland. When I use TDE, I can choose KDEs window manager/Wayland and it works fine. I run it on both Antix and MX.

Thanks,

John

Hey all.

Is there a project roadmap that is updated? Mostly looking to see the

projects perspectives on things like Wayland for example?

I know that X11 is still around, but its development isn't exactly lively

anymore.

I'm no specialist, but I thought Wayland would have to offer some way for

software created for X11 to continue working.

archwiki has an article about Wayland:

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/wayland

From there:

"For compatibility with native X11 applications to run them seamlessly, 

Xwayland can be used, which provides an X Server in Wayland.

4 Xwayland

Xwayland is an X server that runs under Wayland and provides compatibility 

for native X11 applications that are yet to provide Wayland support.

Note:

Security: Xwayland is an X server, so it does not have the security 

features of Wayland

Performance: Xwayland has a nearly identical performance to that of X11. 

In some cases you might notice degraded performance, especially on NVIDIA 

cards.

Compatibility: Xwayland is not fully backward compatible with X11. Some 

applications may not work properly under Xwayland."

Bottom line: Xwayland is the workaround for X11 applications that have not 

been ported to Wayland yet, but Xwayland is way inferior to X.Org.

Gianluca

Otherwise that would mean that any software not "updated" for Wayland would be

unusable - and If Linux distribution go that way, I can't follow.

So what for would TDE ever need to care about Wayland?
