PCSX2 Disables Wayland Support
>Not losing all the work every time your windows manager crashes
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37509703
>remapping keys
>Use xinput to change parameters of their input devices (libinput dropped most configuration options present with evdev)
Up to the compositor.
>Global shortcuts
Also up to the compositor. Was added to xdp in https://github.com/flatpak/xdg-desktop-portal/blob/main/data... so it's up to the compositor's xdp impl to provide it. It was created by a KDE dev so I assume KDE implements it at least.

Haven't had any more than on X11, but then again I do use Nvidia hardware on Linux.

Unpacking Elixir: Syntax
I don't use Wayland, but it seems xdg-desktop-portal since 1.16.0 has a 'Global Shortcuts portal'. Perhaps check it out.

Advice: TW or Aeon
The first bug report was filed in early 2022 but unfortunately no progress yet on the matter, even after numerous similar reports ever since.

Xdg portal hyprland and launching gui apps
Yeah been having the same issue since I changed to using the unstable branch, supposedly noticed and fixed upstream for a few variants of the problem (different people with different configurations of DE and xdg-* deps installed report the same issue due to timeouts of the other portals)

GTK apps taking ages to startup
Afaik they're libraries that get loaded by xdg-desktop-portal. And for some reason it's loading the wrong one, or loading ones that aren't actually running on the system... or something. 1 3

Wayfire (a Wayland compositor) 0.8.0 announcement
I gave Wayfire a shot a bit earlier in the year, but as I am a Dvorak typist and <https://github.com/WayfireWM/wayfire/issues/1601> is marked as "wontfix", I decided to stick to Awesome for the time being. It did run like a dream, though, even on my ancient potato, so if the keybinding issue does get fixed at some point I may well switch over.
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 :)"

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.

Swayfire and Wayfire news
might be a small window when wayfire releases a version, before master identfies as the next release number. (see: https://github.com/WayfireWM/wayfire/blob/master/meson.build )
On GitHub, last version is 0.7.5.
So I try to find news about Wayfire but on the website the last annoucement concerns 0.7.0.

What is meant by a Fast OS?
That said, many people prefer "fluid" or "smooth" over quick. Or remember these 3D cube or lamp effects, e.g. as redone in https://wayfire.org/ ? Definitely not quick, but people like those.
