  • I don’t use gnome and after switching to hyperland prefer not to have my compositor draw anything other than windows, so I can understand where you’re coming from, but for gnome i’d want to keep it, namely cause its used for:

    • System controls including power/logout are there as well as switching audio devices through an extension.
    • clock
    • system indicators (what else are you going to do about applications that unmap their window on close, like discord?)







  • I understand your perspective but at the end of the day all you’re doing is justifying why you should be able to disregard this guy’s blog post under the premise that he comes off as someone who’s full of himself.

    At the end of the day vaxray’s ability to state that “almost all the other compositors suck beyond opening terminal windows” should be tied to whether or not the statement is true/justifiable; it shouldn’t be tied to whether or not people can’t stand the optics of it.


  • I’m not the one going around making statements that imply reliable wayland compositors can just be readily whipped up and shipped out.

    You can complain about the guy’s ego if you feel like he’s talking up his product too much, but if you’re going to reject valid statements he’s making under the assumption that they’re all self-motivated and therefore incorrect, then you should be able to justify the position.
