@that_leaflet @BrodieOnLinux #Qt shows how windows can have many sub-windows and bars, all within the same window. Works on Wayland, has session restore etc.
I also dont have use cases for apps that can place themselves. But for the few that so, a good compositor like #Kwin will probably get features to configure the arrangement.
I mean, I appreciate that there's a DE tailored for people who've never used a COMPUTER before. I used to laugh at that and say that there's no such animal, but nowadays, plenty of young folks have been inculcated in iBrainrotOS and honestly do NOT know how to use a computer.
But when your apps force your narrow viewpoint on me when running in KDE (particularly CSDs), absolutely kindly go make love to thyself.
I'd much rather that #KWin forced a titlebar on top of the CSD apps. I don't care if that looks ridiculous; it SHOULD be ridiculous.
Argh, </rant>
But seriously, have a wonderful day, Gnome peeps. Make awesome apps. And maybe listen to crazy ranty nerds like me about a quarter of the time. Not more, not less.
What do you think is still missing in #Wayland?
I feel that the last rough edges have been ironed out in the last year. This includes #HDR, #TripleBuffering, #ColorManagement, #SessionRestore implementations, improved #Accessibility, etc.
What important pieces do you think are still missing in Wayland?
#XWayland #Mutter #KWin #Gnome #KDE #X11 #XOrg #Cosmic #Enlightenment #GTK4 #GTK #QT6 #Weston #Cinnamon #Xfce hyprland #niri #sway
Linux Display Managers/ Window Managers:
#Linux #DM #WM #SDDM #LightDM #Mutter #xfwm #xdm #kwin #gdm ....
lol
seriously though.
where does Mutter/ Budgie come from? it seems to be independent of the KDE/ Gnome universes.
I dunno. I feel like I see components from this or that, in that or this and it's keeping track. But does it matter.
I do know it matters when I'm messing around w/ the old #HDMI out on the #Funai #Magnavox thing from nineteen eighty 'fore.
Up top!
it was my birthday yesterday, and i already used up my once-yearly super powerful magic birthday wish. now that it's no longer my birthday, i can make regular, non-magical wishes, which are unfortunately far less likely to come true, but are not as rare.
my wish is that #KDE's #dolphin file manager handles "open XYZ folder in your file browser" requests by opening a new tab in the current window rather than opening a new window.
if anyone knows of a #kwin rule or something to do this automatically... i will send you a FREE copy of a king crimson meme i made several months ago

#KDE splittet #KWin #Compositor auf -
Auf der #KDE-Mailingliste erschien vor 2 Tagen ein Beitrag, der informierte, dass #KDEs #Fenstermanager und #Compositor #KWin in zwei Komponenten kwin_wayland und kwin_x11 aufgeteilt wurde. Der Code ist zwar getrennt, aber beide Komponenten können gemeinsam installiert werden, sodass ein Wechsel von Wayland zu X11 und zurück weiterhin gewährleistet bleibt, sofern die Distributionen beide Komponenten anbieten.
X11 and Wayland codebases have been split in Kwin:
https://blog.vladzahorodnii.com/2025/03/13/kwin_x11-and-kwin_wayland-split/
'"The (basic) kwin split had been completed yesterday. […] Both kwin_x11 and kwin_wayland are co-installable […] lwin_x11 is expected to be maintained until Plasma 7, no new features are expected to be backported (to be fair, the feature freeze has been in place for quite a while already […]). New fixes should be landed in kwin_wayland first, then backported to kwin_x11."'

Про миграцию на Wayland.
Последние пару лет у меня Xorg оставался на машинах из-за Simple Desktop Display Manager (SDDM).
Несколько месяцев назад #SDDM таки ушёл на #Wayland и больше #Xorg не используется, можно удалять.
Если что-то из софта потеряло функциональность, вынужденно работая через #Xwayland на тех системах, где нет Xorg, то в этом софте ментейнеры довольно быстро реализовал поддержку Wayland.
Однако, пошло это лишь тогда, когда дистрибутивы стали использовать Wayland в качестве основного GUI-сервера.
Не фанат Wayland, просто #X11 сам по себе и Xorg крайне небезопасны и категорически не способны сделать безопасный десктоп для пользователя. А потому и неизбежен переход на Wayland, альтернатив нет.
И в тоже время, комично наблюдать как толпы жалуются, что якобы Wayland плохой\сырой и т.д. так и не вкурив, о необходимости переключать софт на работу с ним.
Например, можно в /etc/environment
вставить:
QT_WAYLAND_TEXT_INPUT_PROTOCOL=zwp_text_input_v2
MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1
QT_QPA_PLATFORM="wayland;xcb"
SDL_VIDEODRIVER="wayland,x11"
Перезагрузиться и тогда уже составлять впечталение о работе десктопа с Wayland’ом.
Для контроля работы через #Xwayland можно запустить:
qdbus org.kde.KWin /KWin org.kde.KWin.showDebugConsole
Если всё хорошо, то там может не быть ни одного приложения в «X11 Windows» — значит все напрямую через Wayland работают:

...A word of warning
If you encounter an issue with #KWin crashing after upgrading to #Plasma6 6.3, please do not report it to me, but to the KDE Devs on the Bug Reporter https://bugs.kde.org. It's a Plasma issue not a #XeroLinux one.
I cannot fix it. Temporary fix would be to press *F12* for *Yakuake* and type this `systemctl --user restart plasma-plasmashell.service` followed by enter key until issue is fixed
Thanks
