Wayland. It comes up a lot: “Bug X fixed in the Plasma Wayland session.” “The Plasma Wayland session has now gained support for feature Y.” And it’s in the news quite …

Every release has a killer feature. Qt 6.6 features the opposite - staying alive. This blog post describes work to make Qt clients more robust and seemlessly migrate between compositors, providing resistance against compositor crashes and more.

"Most of our desktop applications have a toolbar, sometimes they even have multiple toolbars next to or stacked on top of each other. More complex desktop applications such as Krita, Kdenlive or LabPlot often consist of multiple sub-windows, docks, tabbed views, etc. Docks and toolbars can be undocked, moved around and arranged freely and when dragged over a part of a window snap back into the window. This allows the user to customize their work environment to their liking and needs. This worked fine on X because it lets you do anything, this post explores the situation on Wayland."

"With this blog I would like to introduce KRdp, which is a new library implementing the required glue to create a server exposing a KDE Plasma Wayland session over the RDP protocol. It also contains a command-line based server which will allow remote clients to control the current Plasma Wayland session."

Hi !

I'm using wayfire with several other wayland tools, and though most gtk3 applications respect GDK_DPI_SCALE, it so happens that nautilus, which is built with gtk4 doesn't (on Artix, non systemd derivative from Arch), and I haven't found a way to scale its fonts up.

Now I really don't care much about nautilus, but I do care about the environment, and don't see how to overcome this limitation for gtk4 applications.

Any help?

So i use gnome, and while im on wayland everything works really good, but i cant set a keybinding to 'Super+Shift+$'.
Is there a reason i dont know for this? All of my other keybindings work perfectly fine, but this one doesnt.
It works on Xorg

Hello, I just noticed there's a paperde wayland DE using Wayfire as compositor, and of course there's Liri wayland DE.

Has anyone experienced with them? Which is lighter and requires less resources? Which is more stable? Which provides a better general purpose desktop (not focus just on their own apps)?
