#Wayland

11 posts10 participants0 posts today

Dachte, nach der Debatte hier, dass #Wayland angeblich soooo supertoll ohne Probleme bei allen Programmen laufen würde, mach ich mal ne fortlaufend aktualisierte Liste von Programmen, die nicht laufen und/oder für die es keine oder nur umständliche Lösung gibt.

1) Omnissa Horizon Client (eine Client-App, um Zugang zur Uni-eigenen VM zu bekommen) - > Programm zeigt an, dass das Serverprotokoll nicht unterstützt wird.
2) Zoom Screensharing weil Electron App
3) Element Screensharing weil Electron App
4) Virtualbox - > wurde gefixed mit dem Austausch hin zu VMWare
....
....
- einige Apps sehen vom Schriftbild her merkwürdig aus, leicht verschwommen, wie als wenn man ne Klarsichtfolie drüber gelegt hätte. - > Fixed, durch die Anzeige-Einstellung, alten X11-Anwendungen (was ja schon wieder ne dumme Fornulierung ist, weil was ist denn z. B. an aktuellem Obsidian alt) die Skalierung durch sich selbst durchführen zu lassen. War vorher auf Skalierung durch das System eingestellt.
- Mikrofon ist nicht statisch einstellbar, verstellt sich dynamisch unter Wayland in den Video-Call Apps, besonders in Zoom.

wlmaker: Wayland compositor that reproduces Window Maker’s look and feel

What if you want to use Wayland, but prefer Window Maker, which is restricted to legacy X11? Enter wlmaker, or Wayland Maker, a Wayland compositor that reproduces the look and feel of Window Maker. It's lightweight, very configurable through human-readable configuration files, supports dockab

""The latest alpha of the upcoming #Blender 5.0 release comes with High Dynamic Range (HDR) support for #Linux on #Wayland […]

It’s been a lot of personal blood, sweat and tears, paid for by #RedHat across the Linux graphics stack for the last few years to enable applications like Blender to add #HDR support. From #kernel work, like helping to get the HDR mode working on Intel laptops, and improving the Colorspace and HDR_OUTPUT_METADATA KMS properties, to creating a new library for EDID and DisplayID parsing, and helping with wiring things up in #vulkan.

I designed the active color management paradigm for Wayland compositors, figured out how to properly support HDR, created two wayland protocols to let clients and compositors communicate the necessary information for active color management, and created documentation around all things color in FOSS graphics. This would have also been impossible without @pq from Collabora and all the other people I can’t possibly list exhaustively. […] ""

The price of software freedom is eternal politics • The Register

The article is about X11 and Wayland but it goes into the politics behind the various projects.

I never considered the ideological divide between "Free Software" vs. "Open Source Software", but I suppose this makes sense.

FOSS stands for Free and Open Source Software, but Free Software and Open Source are not the same things. They are opposites, different sides of the same coin.
Free Software is an expressly left-wing sort of proposition that was formalized in the 1980s. It uses the ambiguous word "free" as in "freedom." It is all about personal liberty, about giving people the right to take someone else's creations, change them however they see fit, and do whatever they want with them, including re-sharing them.
In contrast, Open Source came along over a decade later and is a very much a right-wing capitalist sort of idea – that anyone, including companies, can make better software by developing it in the open. A significant inspiration was the 1997 essay "The Cathedral and the Bazaar" by writer, hacker, and activist Eric S Raymond, and for an idea of his views, note that his personal page advocates for the Libertarian Party, and also his position on firearms control.
The Open Source movement is relatively corporate, and seeks to persuade businesses that developing in the open makes for better software, which, indirectly, makes them more money. The Free Software movement is about ensuring users' rights, including access to the source code, and founder Richard Stallman explicitly says that "Open Source Misses the Point of Free Software."
The term "FOSS" tries to cover both "FS" and "OS", but mingling the two very different terms together risks its advocates forgetting that this handy catch-all acronym masks a profound and important difference of opinion.

Since he was mentioned, here is my obligatory "Richard Stallman is a piece of shit" acknowledgement. The Stallman Report

If anybody who knows anything about Vulkan, SDL3, and ideally a teensy bit on Wayland (on the server side) has some free time, I would love to talk a bit.

I'm working on some funny Wayland compositor stuff I hope that's useful eventually (gitlab.com/OroWith2Os/rxwl), and I'm going to need to implement wl_buffers outside of wl_shm soon for anything performant (but, really, I need to do windowing stuff too. It's Complicated.

I've gotten outputs mostly done (still need to update capabilities during runtime), but I want to get a client on-screen before I do more complicated stuff.

I think a good next step is working on wl_compositor a bit; regions seem like an easy thing to implement. Surfaces aren't too hard either, since I'd just be holding a bunch of state in those.

🌟 Exciting News for X11 Enthusiasts! 🌟

Have you heard about The Wayback Project? It's an innovative initiative aiming to save classic X11 desktops from becoming obsolete with the rise of Wayland. 💻

The Wayback Project introduces an experimental Wayland compositor that hosts a "rootful" Xwayland instance. This means your favorite X11 desktop environments like Cinnamon, Xfce, LXDE, and even W3 can run seamlessly on Wayland 🚀

Created by the talented Alpine Linux developer Ariadne Conill, this project is a game-changer for those of us who still rely on legacy desktops and apps. Early builds are already up and running, bugs and all, and the project is actively seeking testers and contributors to help refine and improve it.
