@mcc If you do end up going with KDE Plasma, feel free to ask me any questions or mention issues you’re running into!
There are some features available in Plasma (such as absolute window positioning) not available in many other Wayland sessions that can help people coming from X11-based DEs.
@pq @mcc @valpackett ordinary.cafe/@technobaboo/114…
I want to defend Wayland here and explain a crucial piece that I think people are missing...The splitting of protocols in Wayland and compositor reimplementation were to allow for new form factors. It had to sacrifice the guarantee of all desktop app functionality being present to achieve that.
The idea (as I see it) was never to have 500 desktop compositors all trying to reimplement the same thing with slight differences. Iinstead, it was for 500 different interfaces for different platforms that are compatible with the same apps (e.g. desktop, laptop, phone, car screens, AR/VR, watch). Different form factors have totally different ways of dealing with interface, but share enough common features where it makes sense to have 1 base protocol and many other ones for device/form specific features.
Problem is, while in 2008-2016 we had a ton of new experimental UIs coming out on a semi-regular basis (that was the peak of the whole convergent phone/tablet craze, smartwatches started, fancy car UI, touch tables, early AR/VR) things have quieted down. The purpose of Wayland's insane modularity hasn't been visible to most people given it's almost always complained about in a desktop contest vs X11. But X11 was literally only designed for a desktop form factor and has been refined for that 1 purpose for decades!
As an example of different form factors, Wayland lets IVI (in-vehicle infotainment) systems work way better than Xorg could have. Desktop window layouting on that platform would inherently produce massive amounts of unnecessary complexity, and the ability to direct scanout saves on power/expensive compute. Automotive Grade Linux and COVESA maintain reference interfaces for cars so companies can iterate a ton faster. Wayland gives the app compatibility and they can make the system UI work with more flexibility and ease than an X11 window manager.
Take Linux Mobile too, the compositor can reliably enforce window layout and boundaries and composition. While this could technically be done with an X window manager and compositor, doing it with Wayland guarantees reliability as the app simply doesn't have a choice or room for error. Some things like drag and drop of toolbars doesn't make much sense on mobile given how small the screens are.
There's some interfaces where X11 is basically impossible to use. In AR/VR (where i am making a Wayland compositor) the concept of a screen simply does not exist. How is an app supposed to position itself when the very concept of 3D is not part of the protocol? In Wayland I don't have to implement the protocols that don''t work (e.g. layer shell) and therefore any apps that don't need it will be compatible..
Wayland has allowed for insane levels of flexibility, things that no other display server architecture can do reasonably. Total flexibility between app and screen, direct scanout without hacks, AR/VR support, etc.
Here's some fun and useful stuff that's been done with Wayland, stuff that X11 could never reasonably do:
- LG Smart TV UI: youtu.be/4cmYCK9PBkM
- Multiple user collaboration on touch tables with arbitrary rotation: youtu.be/8xtjJTJAQsY
- AR/VR apps running in windows and volumes at the same time, all interactable back in 2014 (eat your heart out magic leap and apple): github.com/evil0sheep/motorcar
- Presentation slides that were themselves a Wayland compositor written in Qt and QML so therefore allowed fully interactive live demos in an integrated form factor with a very popular and easy to code UI framework: youtu.be/mIg1P3i2ZfI
- Cosmic panels are actually Wayland compositors, meaning widgets can draw literally anything from any toolkit in any language.
Now, could Wayland devs maybe have distributed features across protocols better? Worked with app toolkit devs to ensure the protocols they made actually fit what the apps and compositors needed? Stopped bikeshedding (though imo many cases of "bikeshedding" are simply accounting for other form factors)? Absolutely!
My point here is simple: there was a reason for making it this modular, for not having a standard implementation. It wasn't just devs trying to impose some ideology, it wasn't some corporate takeover. It's good reasons that people using X11 on their desktop/laptop don't encounter. If we made something that wasn't universal, most apps wouldn't be compatible with it and therefore everything but the desktop form factor would lack apps.

@dysfun Sorry, I thought you had some tangible features in mind where people have spent effort, but do not benefit also the desktop. E.g. some protocol extension. I cannot think of a single protocol that isn't somehow relevant for some desktop.
@ariadne @mcc @valpackett
@dysfun I think the protocol modularity is good for the desktop in the long run. Problems and use cases can be solved one at a time, and they can be iterated on. Solving everything at once would take even longer, or the result would be just another copy of what already exists without any clear way to try something new.
@ariadne @mcc @valpackett
@mcc I think maybe you can make an argument there for sysv init and how everything is just shell scripts and a lot of people know bash.
But have you actually tried fixing X11? I have. It's not easier. There is absolutely nothing more approachable about X11 as a technology. There's just a bunch of people who are angry that XYZ unmaintained tool they found in the 90s doesn't work anymore.
@gfxstrand @mcc I don't even think a lot of the Wayland haters even had 'an old piece of software'. I think they spotted something weird or broken in modern stuff and decided that 'Wayland is garbage'.
Fuzzy scaling on an app that's using legacy libraries? "Wayland is garbage"
A broken widget in a video editor that got patched between the disto freeze and today? "Wayland is garbage"
An article describing how to change a config for your X11 screen layout is no longer valid? "Wayland is garbage"
Personally, I switched to Wayland as soon as I could, the rough edges apps had with it in 2018 were well worth how well it performed with HiDPI and laptop docks. I remember the Bad Old Days of writing my own xfree86 configuration files and using a calculator to figure out my modelines, and a LOT of the ugliness of that era is still obviously under the hood of xorg-server and xlibre today.
@DarcMoughty Yup! "Why is my app blurry? This never happened under X11!" Yeah, dude, that's because X11 never had frame scaling. Like, have you seen the attempts at doing scaling with X11?!?

#FensterFreitag
A popular trend on the different bits of the FediVerse is the tag #FensterFreitag. Which is German for “Window Friday”. People using that tag on Friday will usually accompany it with some sort of window picture.
When I was in Greifenstein last week, mum and I went up into the towers. The towers have some windows in them, and I tried to get some snaps. Unfortunately, the weather wasn’t the best, so the snaps aren’t too spectacular. Still, they’re windows… And some you don’t have the chance to look from that often. 😇
I asked ChatGPT about Window Friday… It showed me what I already started this post with, that it’s very popular, mainly on Mastodon (which is part of the FediVerse that I mentopned). But it also added this:
Why It WorksCultural Connection: Mastodon originated with a strong German-speaking community, and this German-derived hashtag became a lighthearted tradition.
Creativity with Routine: Every Friday, people look out for interesting windows—whether they photograph them just for the hashtag or already had a cool shot in mind.
A Fun, Global Niche: It’s simple, communal, and aesthetic. Users worldwide join in—sharing windows from Italy, Mexico, the US, and beyond.
There are several floors in the Doppeltürme while going up to the top. I tried to capture a snap from every floor, when the windows were clean enough and when I dared to get to the window. I don’t mind flying. I don’t mind walking up on closed stairs. But once I am up, I hate looking down too much… (and still, I am usually the one that goes up to “enjoy the view”, as I always feel like I should take a snap or vid when I am there).
Summary: What to Expect from a FensterFreitag PostElement Description
Hashtag Always includes #FensterFreitag (sometimes alongside #WindowFriday)
Image Content A photo of a window—inside, outside, architectural detail, artistic framing
Tone Casual, reflective, aesthetic—often tied to architecture, mood, memory or place
Community Vibe Friendly and inspiring; invites others to look around and see windows anew
I’ll share some more of the snaps that I made in the towers. All the snaps that I share have been taken by me with my phone (Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra) on Thursday, August 28th 2025. I have shared all my snaps on Flickr, from where I linked the images seen in this post. I’ve been to Greifenstein many times (though not as often as my parents 😉), and most of the times, I tried to visit the Burg and it’s towers. I don’t have folders for all my vacations on Flickr yet, but I added more older snaps from my visits to Germany, which also include many made in Greifenstein, and it’s surroundings. Now that I have a proper working PC again, it’s easier to work on my Flickr site, so hopefully soon, I will be able to create folders for older vacations to properly sort the snaps. 😇
Unfortunately, the windows weren’t too clean, and the weather wasn’t too nice, so the views were not that great. Still, it was nice to write a post about Fenster Freitag, and to also include some German Fenster in it. 😉
A few more snaps, just because I have them. I tried to tell ChatGPT as much as I could so it could help me with the best alt texts for the images. As I am not the best in writing all this, especially as some of the info that I found and used was in German. I know some, but not all, so I hope that the AI did it’s best to create some nice texts, according to you, the readers. 😇
Some more “Fensters”, but then from the “new built”, next to the two towers. I always wonder how majestic the rooms that were originally built there must have been, with such a wide windows and views over the neighborhood, especially with the old Burg walls still standing around the old town… 😊
I will share one extra snap of the Burg, taken 6 years ago. But I quite like the snap, and it shows some more of the Burg, only from a distance…
More info on the Burg can be found here:
