wl-clipboard VS wlroots

> things it doesn't support like xclip

$ cat ~/bin/clip

    #!/bin/sh

With the default config I noticed I couldn't paste contents from the selection buffer in some applications, so I added the following wl-clipboard calls in my hyprland.conf:

This is just kinda how wayland works. The way wl-clipboard handles it is it forks off and stays in the background. That process is what serves the clipboard requests.

On wayland wl-paste pastes the from the clipboard. On X11 replace wl-paste with either xsel --clipboard --output or xclip -selection clipboard -o

No, but there's a wl-clipboard for that

Linux isn't very pleasant.

I'm not 100% sure what you're asking.

> EDIT: I should another important one for me: xclip, read from and write to the clipboard in the command line

I just had a quick Google and xclip or wl-clipboard may be what you’re looking for. I’ve never used them but they sound promising.

For point 2 I found that wl-paste seems to share the windows clipboard. Taking a screenshot and then in WSL

>barrier has been unmaintained for a long time.

As if not having new features added for 2 years makes it stop working? barrier is perfectly fine on normal linux desktop installs. I actually use synergy 1.x personally which has been "unmaintained" for much, much longer. Except synergy 1.x will compile and run on anything from windows 98 to ubuntu 5 to debian 12. You can't get a waynergy or inputleap to compile on an OS more than 2 years old. And even then, as you say, it's crapshoot if the particular wayland will have libei; many like sway are actively hostile to it and never will: https://github.com/swaywm/wlroots/issues/2378

It looks like they actually patched it to filter those modes out, so presumably it worked out of the box and was considered undesirable: https://github.com/swaywm/wlroots/issues/3038

I haven't experienced any of those. The video game performance hit may be due to vsync, but I don't play games so I haven't noticed.

You can however use tinywl. It is an example Wayland compositor that can't do more than displaying one application.

Sway/wlroots has implemented this, but I can't find any discussion for KDE.

wlroots is archived on github. Is it abandoned? Just saying, that only means they moved git hosts :-D

A lot of compositors are based no the wlroots lirbary. So they are still sharing the development effort and have a common base, its just in the form of a library rather than a display server.

gamescope use wlroots
