Any reason why Xorg and not Wayland?

[-] theamigan@lemmy.dynatron.me 6 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

I run xorg on my desktops (especially my video transfer/editing workstation) and sway on my laptop. Wayland still has some seemingly intractable bugs and annoyances, if it even supports what you are trying to accomplish. I run it in hopes of helping it improve, but it's far from mature.

Xorg is compatible with Actiona

I know that's not a huge reason for most people but I have a lot of automations that run through it

picom doesnt support wayland and as I far as I know qtile doesnt have any compositor effects

I dont want to switch to another wm just to use wayland

also I dont understand why people are rushing to wayland, there are still bunch of issues and half of the shit runs on xwayland anyway - just give it a couple more years

I was just offering the other option. Feel free to use whatever you want!

They are a WIP

Probably because QTile.

I don't know if QTile has Wayland support, so my apologies if that's wrong.

[-] theshatterstone54@feddit.uk 4 points 10 months ago

Qtile has among the best Wayland support out there. It is kinda difficult to install the Wayland version, however.

Nice colors... good job.

Qtile is the best wm hands down (except maybe herbstluftwm)
