💥 Manjaro 25.1 se despide de X11: ¡solo Wayland por defecto! 🤯
Los desarrolladores confirman que los próximos ISOs de Manjaro KDE solo incluirán sesiones Wayland. 😳

OJITO A ESTO:
Plasma 6.4.0 necesitará intervención manual si está en X11.
Con la reciente división de kwin en kwin-wayland y kwin-x11, los usuarios que ejecuten la antigua sesión X11 deben instalar manualmente plasma-x11-session; de lo contrario, no podrán iniciar sesión.

⚠️ Heads-up pro Arch uživatele Plasmy (X11):
S vydáním Plasma 6.4.0 došlo ke splitu kwin → kwin-wayland a kwin-x11.
Pokud používáš X11, musíš ručně nainstalovat:
sudo pacman -S plasma-x11-session kwin-x11
Jinak se po aktualizaci nedostaneš na plochu!
📅 Změna je účinná od 20. 6. 2025

I've installed just about every tiling compositor / Window Manager for #Wayland, and am slowly eliminating the ones that have showstopper issues.
* #Sway is good, and I love that all my i3 configs can be used, but scaling the display on my high-DPI monitors was just unusably awful,
* #MiracleWM just flat-out refused to run, and I'm not motivated to put the time in to fix whatever is wrong
* #hyprland is another of the mainstream WMs (as much as a tiling window manager for #Linux can be called mainstream), and works really well, in terms of having the most bells and whistles—like really good scaling with the option of leaving XWayland windows unscaled—but at the cost of a pretty greedy amount of CPU usage even when it's not doing anything.
* #RiverWM looks like a good contender, though it feels like it's a small project and early in the development process. Best thing: they use good ol' IRC for the user forum, rather than reddit. I think I've found my people.

I made some progress packaging the Pinnacle Wayland compositor for Chimera Linux last night. Core functionality and sessions are working. Next I have to package 4 Lua modules to get the Lua API working too.

I've just packed wayland-scm in #Guix. Sane multischeme (#guile, #chicken,
#gauche) #bindings for #wayland by Mal https://codeberg.org/kfu
See: https://codeberg.org/shegeley/wayland-scm/src/branch/guix
I was able to launch 'empty-window.scm' example. See 'make -f example.Makefile'.
I didn not yet tried it on other complex interfaces (from wlroots). It
might need few more changes to work with them.
Also see my post on existing wayland bindings in Lisps:

I didn’t plan to write about Wayland yet. But Xorg is dying — not eventually, but now. GNOME’s dropping X11 support. RHEL already removed it. Ubuntu and Fedora are next. And if you rely on accessibility, you don’t get to wait this one out.
So here’s Post 4 of I Want to Love Linux. It Doesn’t Love Me Back.
I’m using Wayland now. Primarily. Not because I love it. Because the fallback is disappearing, and I want to be there helping fix what comes next. GNOME with Orca actually works. KDE and COSMIC are making progress. I’ve talked to the people involved. They care.
But a lot is broken.
MATE — the desktop most blind users preferred — isn’t on Wayland.
ocrdesktop doesn’t work. xdotool is gone.
wlroots compositors still don’t reliably support Orca’s keybindings, especially on laptops.
This isn’t GNOME’s fault. They’re the only reason accessibility on Wayland works at all.
But the old excuses are gone. “Just use Xorg” isn’t going to be an option much longer.
So yeah. I’m a Wayland shill now. Because I’m using it. Because I have to.
And I want to make sure we’re not excluded from what comes next.

🐧Nitrux Linux Drops NX Desktop and Plasma, Embraces Hyprland
「 In an unexpected move, the systemd-free Nitrux Linux distro has announced discontinuing its NX Desktop and Plasma support, charting a new path focused on simplicity and minimalism and shifting toward a more streamlined, Wayland-centric approach 」
