RHEL, Fedora, and Ubuntu use Wayland right now. X Windows is basically in maintenance mode. The proposal I was referencing suggested moving the accessibility layer lower in the X windows stack. If you started working on that now, it probably wouldn't matter because X Windows will have a small market share. (If it even worked which as I said is unlikely because of the way libraries make use of X Windows.) But if you think you can do better, I'd be happy to be proven wrong. I just don't think Wayland is bleeding edge anymore. -- Dennis Payne du...@identicalsoftware.com https://social.freegamedev.net/channel/dulsi _______________________________________________ libreplanet-discuss mailing list libreplanet-discuss@libreplanet.org https://lists.libreplanet.org/mailman/listinfo/libreplanet-discuss
