  1. XOrg Server 21.1.25 és Xwayland 24.1.14 tizenkét súlyos sebezhetőséget javít, köztük heap és use-after-free hibákat — telepítetted már a javítást a gépeden? Érdemes gyorsan frissíteni, mert néhány hiba tetszőleges kód futtatásához vagy információszivárgáshoz vezethet. Részletek és CVE-k a linken.

    La única opción es reiniciar. #KDE inicia #XWayland para el puente de vídeo entre #Wayland y #X11 para aplicaciones que no se han actualizado a Ẃayland. XWayland mantiene abiertos los archivos /dev/dri/card0 y /dev/dri/card1. Según pone en docs.kernel.org/gpu/vga-switch si hay procesos que tienen abiertos esos archivos el cambio de GPU no se realiza.

    Si mato el proceso KDE lo reinicia al instante.

  9. Someone did some in-depth latency testing on X11 vs Wayland (Native Wayland & XWayland) and the results are pretty clear.

    tl;dr; X11 is still the more mature system and wins the race, with XWayland being the absolute last place snail.

  16. Generally speaking, #Xwayland should be avoided for gaming where possible (which still isn't always possible, especially until Steam fix their overlay). The high latency people experience after switching from #X11 to #Wayland does not come from Wayland itself, but the indirection of this legacy compatibility layer. Don't take my word for it, this was measured in detail by David Justo this year:

    davidjusto.com/articles/m2p-la

  17. There currently are two recent #Phoronix articles that are shared widely, comparing #KDE KWin 6.6 vs #Gnome Mutter 50 in terms of game performance (one for AMD, one for Nvidia). What it lacks to me is a disclosure whether this is comparing the pure #Wayland compositor performance or more specifically their #Xwayland integrations. At least for the Windows games I will have to assume it is the latter (as Proton does not yet _default_ to Wayland).

    #Linux #LinuxGaming #Nvidia #AMD

  18. @thelinuxcast this post from who-t.blogspot.com/2016/01/xor is old, but explain the different things that X.org can mean (the foundation, the project) and how they relate to #Wayland (and other things around GPU drivers).

    Maybe @whot should re-publish it yearly. 😄

    Sadly the post does not mention that #Xorg (without a Dot after the X!) is something different (it's the older and once widespread of two popular X-Servers the X.org project publishes these days; the other one is #Xwayland).

  19. I've got a weird issue with #XWayland. It's not a total deal-breaker, but it's just a bit annoying...

    (I'm running KDE Plasma 6.3.6 on Debian Trixie (stable))

    My laptop display (left) is set to 1.85x scaling. My 1080p display (right) is set to 1x.

    If I don't turn on the option to manually scale XWayland applications ("Legacy applications (X11): Scaled by the system"), the X11 applications I use look SMALLER than normal on my main (right) screen. Left screen too, IIRC.

    If I DO turn on that option ("Scaled by the system"), then the applications look great on the main (1x) screen, but they're of course a blurry mess on the left (1.85x) screen.

    I thought the setting meant that the applications would be smaller than normal (unscaled) on the left screen, but they're actually tiny on both screens.

    Any ideas?

    Interestingly enough I use copyQ as the fix for my favorite clipboard manager Parcellite in Wayland on my SBCs. Both work without the ability to have the keyboard shortcuts triggered.

    The problem with Parcellite as a bonus on top, is that I do not even get its icon in the status bar. That means invoking Parcellite in Wayland requires me to pull it up front manually, too tedious.
    Once in ten starts Parcellite works flawlessly. Not good .

    copyQ on the other hand, has legitimate complains but it works, and most importantly, shows it's icon on the status bar.

    copyQ even tells you which functions of it fail in Wayland on the SBC, running Debian arm.

    The natively packaged clipboard managers that i found ready to use for Debian ARM are not as polished as Parcellite.

    Since copyQ is extremely powerful I chose to use it even though I still can't trigger it with a keyboard hotkey. I have a distinct feeling that XWayland doesn't work properly in relationship with both copyQ & Parcellite. It's even possible that it is not configured properly by default on my Debian ARM installation from the Raspberry Pi full install
