Top 23 C Wayland Projects
-
It seems technically possible for a Wayland compositor to implement these things, but at least for Sway there are no plans to (see sway#3380). And unlike with Xorg, you can't use a separate tool to add these effects to a compositor that doesn't already support them.

Scout APM
Scout APM: A developer's best friend. Try free for 14-days. Scout APM uses tracing logic that ties bottlenecks to source code so you know the exact line of code causing performance issues and can get back to building a great product faster.

The little one at the bottom right is mako, the music player is ncmpcpp and the music visualiser is cava
-
pipeword (linked to from that page) is also impressive.

Project mention: If the downloaded file is a image, show it in a the default image viewer | reddit.com/r/youtubedl | 2021-03-30
So I thought, that if the file, youtube-dl points to, is a image (jpg/png) then it would use imv, which can show the file from stdin.

Project mention: What are some automation scripts that have made your life easier? | reddit.com/r/commandline | 2021-07-15
# Details I'm an English speaker living abroad, and while I'm trying to learn the local language it's real hard. I found myself popping open a browser to use deepl quite frequently, or trying to find translator plugins for several different applications. To make this process easier, I wrote a script (bound to a hotkey) which will screenshot a selected area, OCR it, translate it to english, and show a notification with the translated text. It also copies the translated text to the clipboard. Why screenshot + OCR rather than just selecting and copying text? Images and screen-sharing, mostly. I think this is just a really cool way to show how the hard parts have usually been done for you, and all you need to do is put the blocks together. ## Implementation I'm running sway, so the several of the tools are Wayland specific. You could easily swap them out for xorg compatible variants if you like. The script is [here](https://github.com/rbuchberger/dotfiles/blob/master/scripts/screenshot\_translate). The toolchain is: * [Slurp](https://github.com/emersion/slurp) - select an area * [Grim](https://github.com/emersion/grim) - screenshot that area * [Tesseract](https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/tesseract) - OCR * [Translate Shell](https://www.soimort.org/translate-shell/) - Translation CLI * [Mako](https://github.com/emersion/mako) - Notification window Mako needed a little configuration to show long form text: [category=translation] width=900 height=1200 Edit: added details and links for the tools used.

Project mention: Screen share is not working on my arch installation. What might be the issue? | reddit.com/r/archlinux | 2021-09-03
Yes, tools with x in the name (usually x specific) often are just incompatible with Wayland. There might be alternatives though, in this case there is wl-clipboard.

gromit-mpx
Gromit-MPX is an on-screen annotation tool that works with any Unix desktop environment under X11 as well as Wayland.
Project mention: Image viewer with annotations (etc add rectangle) | reddit.com/r/linuxquestions | 2021-03-11I use Gromit-MPX. With it you can toggle "painting mode" with a hotkey (e.g. F9), making your screen essentially a big whiteboard on which you can draw in various colors and thiccnessess.

Project mention: Is there a way to have a .desktop file restart if it stops running? Tried systemd as an alternative but had issues with user input. | reddit.com/r/linuxquestions | 2021-08-12
This should be handled by the WM. Use a WM that was designed for kiosk mode. I hope that I'm not wrong here, but for example, I believe that Cage exit if the application was close or crashed, and then cage is restarted by systemd with the application, note the Restart=always entry in the sample systemd service. Cage is a Wayland WM. If you need a Xorg kiosk WM, then I'm sure you can find one that will fit your needs.

Project mention: Revived my old Nexus 7 tablet with postmarketOS to display Grafana dashboard on it. | reddit.com/r/homelab | 2021-09-21
For remote control, there is wayvnc, a VNC server for wlroots based compositors. It's even included in postmarketOS repository.

Project mention: Swaylock blank input with only background visisble | reddit.com/r/swaywm | 2021-04-19
Hmmm - looks like it's an old unfixed bug
-
Could it—by any chance—be kiwmi? But it ain’t tiling (unless you make it so) & the fully manual thing also depends on the config. AFAIK that behaviour was explicitly mentioned only in its early history, as you can see e.g. in PR#1

Project mention: Good game to benchmark hardware-accelerated 3D performance on old GPU? | reddit.com/r/linux_gaming | 2021-09-05
Found a good solution: glmark2. Got a score of 83 with the 6800 GT!
