QtWayland 6.6 Brings Robustness Through Compositor Handoffs
QtWayland 6.6 Brings Robustness Through Compositor Handoffs
In this blog post, David Edmundson describes how applications will handle a compositor crash in Wayland.
Well worth a read. The video swapping between Wayland compositors with a single button like it was nothing is freaking magic.
Plasma 6 and Wayland looks so promising :D
7This looks very cool indeed - I can't wait until KDE 6 is released!
5Is this wayland only? (sorry for the super dumb question)
1As most of the underlying work is in QtWayland, I'd say: yes, it's Wayland only (not being the author nor an expert on display technology, so take my words with some caution). The blog post talks about some stuff that is impossible to do in X11 ("impossible" as in "would require massive changes to X11 itself, which no one wants to do").
