  1. #xorg #x11 #wayland

    So, I mentioned before about #12to11 which was an attempt at bringing #wayland to #x11

    Well, here is #waylandx which is bringing this project something o a facelift:

    github.com/ThomasAdam/waylandx

    This is not a project which I was originally involved with though, all I am doing here is sprucing things up...

    You should now be able to build this with #meson rather than #xmkmf tooling.

    Next up, I need to address the version of the protocols its using, as they're a little out of date.

    Given the recent noise about #wayback (lobste.rs/s/9vvhzr/two_weeks_w) this might be a nice alternative.

    No matter how stupid it seems.

    All #wayback does is run xwayland for you, which when all is said-and-done still won't mean much as you can't run wayland applications under it anyway.

    Whereas, #waylandx strives to change that.

    It might be intersting to see if you can run waylandx under xwayland.... heh, heh.

    If you have any questions let me know. Better yet, open an issue on GH:

    github.com/ThomasAdam/waylandx

    I've already put some there, if anyone is interested!
