Why Modern Software Is Slow
> licensing it so that they couldn’t even look at it
https://github.com/cmuratori/refterm/blob/main/LICENSE
It’s just GPL 2.0, what are you talking about!?
Are Microsoft employees vampires that will burn up instantly if they merely glance at GPL code or something?
This is sour grapes nonsense from Microsoft. “We don’t like your tone so we won’t even dignify your argument by considering it.”
At one point an MS employee said they would love to fix their code as suggested by Casey but he refused to even look at the YouTube video!
“I would love to hear your arguments but I refuse to listen to the sound of your voice.” is next-level dismissive.

How can I create a rogue engine from scratch without curses?
Casey Muratori made a renderer/terminal a short while back. Might be a good reference of you intend to go that route. https://github.com/cmuratori/refterm

Microsoft insults dev then takes credit for their idea
You keep complaining that it's not a fully working terminal. Casey, on the other hand, writes here: [1]
> These features are not designed to be comprehensive, since this is only meant to be a reference renderer, not a complete terminal.

Burn My Windows
After that post they did implement a full reference implementation:
https://github.com/cmuratori/refterm/commits/main
And there is movement in getting changes into the terminal itself:

For a basic example of why you would want GPU acceleration, have a look at refterm: https://github.com/cmuratori/refterm
Even processes that you wouldn't think would be impacted by a terminal can be hurt relaly bad by your terminal's performance: your compiler's logs, etc. The GPU rendering part merely guarantees that your terminal sticks at 60FPS (or, whatever your refresh rate is) if the processing behind is efficient.

Cosmic Desktop: Hammering Out New Cosmic Features
Unusable until moving your mouse to the edges of the screen and clicking makes it hit the scrollbar, or the exit button. Right now it initiates a resize.
Illustrated example from a different compositor https://github.com/WayfireWM/wayfire/issues/570
It's the only DE I'm excited about it so I hope they fix that. Very very promising and the best part is that it made the GNOME people mad.
GNOME: "Sorry I don't see the use case for that, PR closed. Make your own project. "

Wayfire (a Wayland compositor) 0.8.0 announcement
One of the developers just responded on the github issue referecing this thread.
"After a bit of discussion on HackerNews, I got a bit better understanding of the actual problem. People don't want to just configure the keys according to a particular layout - the actual 'issue' here is that they expect the key binding changes together with the layout. Unfortunately, the 0.8.0 changes didn't make this possible to implement as a plugin.
I would reconsider adding this as an option if there are enough interested people. React with a thumbs up to this comment if you are interested in having this option (though the defaults will certainly remain as they are now). Please, react only if you actually use Wayfire or would use it if it had this feature :)"

Is wayland still bad with Nvidia?
I have been on Wayfire for over a year now, and I can't possibly praise it enough. It's entirely modular, so you can make it look and behave exactly as you want. It does tiling, it does Compiz-style wobbly windows and 3D desktop cubes, configurable rules and hotkeys, everything. It's stable and handles gaming flawlessly.

Do we finally switch to Wayland or not?
Your impression of Wayland is going to be very much determined by the quality of the compositor implementing it, and I've found Wayfire to be the best, by far - but oddly, also the one least talked about. Everybody's paying attention to stuff like Hyprland, Sway and Mutter - you're barking up the wrong tree there. Wayfire is fantastic, has most of the bells and whistles Compiz on X11 has, and is as pretty or as functional as you want it to be.

BGFX problem
I thought so too not long ago, but Wayland compositors needed some time to mature, and some of them are getting pretty damn good. Ever since I discovered Wayfire I'm a total believer, it's better than any X window management solution I've used. Much lighter too.
