      It was one of the dumb “kick the can to downstream because muh security & effort” things which is why support for it really only came recently: https://dec05eba.com/2024/03/29/wayland-global-hotkeys-shortcut-is-mostly-useless/

      I’m sure it will eventually get better, but like all of the things wrong with wayland can be summed up as “alpha protocol subject to change plz to not use (introduced: 7 years ago)” with “Options: alpha-protocol-kde, protocol-gnome-thing, protocol-whatshouldhavebeeninweston7yearsagoyoutwat (sway), protocol-hyprland-memelol-v2”

        OK unc. Most people use Wayland now while you cling to your insecure outdated and entirely unmaintained x-server speaking about alpha this and that.

          Yeah have fun with your shitty triple buffer and unsupported arbitrary monitor angles lol.

          about alpha this and that.

          Most of wayland’s features like HDR weren’t implemented until literally last year. I have forum threads 3 times older than this lemmy account on how slow wayland progress was.

          Wake me up when Wayfire goes stable and I’ll happily switch in superior XFCE performant style.
