  • swayfx

    SwayFX: Sway, but with eye candy!

  • Project mention: [ New Package Request ] SwayFX | /r/voidlinux | 2023-06-03

    What are the chances of SwayFX being added to the repo ? I see someone had put in a PR but it was never accepted and also the package is now at version 0.3 whereas the person who put in the PR is still at 0.2 since April. Would it be bad practice for me to put in an updated PR that works as I'd be keen to maintain that package for sure ?

  • cage

    A Wayland kiosk

  • Project mention: Wayland breaks your bad software | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-03-30

    You... might be able to, kind of, depending on your goal... So the thing is, if all you need is a single screen (or at least, I've not run this multi-monitor) and you're just working around drivers that don't support Xorg, you can just run cage ( https://github.com/cage-kiosk/cage ), run xwayland on that, and run your real GUI on that. Of course, then you're skipping all the advantages of wayland except hardware/driver compatibility.

    For "real" wayland, sibling comments are correct that you'd need a wayland compositor that reimplemented awesome.
