My real issue ganz is that I've got a lot of automation that relies on X functionality that seems to have gone from Wayland in the name of security (the nanny state reaches the desktop). So I want to be able to search windows, move to window names, get details, send keys and text to the windows, change the windows titles. All these things are very mature in X but suffering from a Jobsian desire to control the user's experience & protect us from ourselves in W. Does XW solve that or do the W protections still apply? Actually, the participants in this discussion seem to understand why we should be using X11 until Wayland grows up a bit. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24920183 This is kinda cool: I'm not sure if "user hateful" is the right term, but they don't seem to be prioritizing the most basic things people are asking for. I think this stuff will come to Wayland (it is in Sway but that's a step too far for me) so I will wait for it to mature & flesh out its ecosystem. Date Time Of Last Edit: 2020-10-29 02:40:33
