  • wayland

    Discontinued Core Wayland protocol and libraries (mirror)

  • developer-center

    Deepin developer center, provide developer wiki and community forum.

    • https://github.com/linuxdeepin/developer-center/issues/2819 usually less extreme, but it's an outcome of how X11 is designed

  • sway

    i3-compatible Wayland compositor

    • If you want more Wayland compatible application, the Sway wiki lists a bunch.

  • linux

    • I think you would be interested on https://gitlab.com/interception/linux/tools projects and it's plugin https://gitlab.com/interception/linux/plugins/dual-function-keys which works in udev level and does not rely on graphical session.
