  • Dvorak keyboard with Qwerty shortcuts on Wayland

    As a result I'm studying the wayland architecture (I like gnome so the compositor would be Mutter) so that I can figure out how to either make a hack or make something legitimate. This is proving time consuming.

    Hmm.. I'm not sure about the negativo drivers, but if you need EGLstreams working it seems like there are a few build options for mutter you can use? https://github.com/GNOME/mutter/blob/main/meson_options.txt

    Wayland is a protocol - not an implementation. It tries to minify latency by merging together some of the components X11 had and tries to do this in a slim and faster way.

    The implementation of the protocol may differ, but I know for example MUTTER (https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter)

    This article has nice and not too complex visualisations: https://www.secjuice.com/wayland-vs-xorg/
