Budgie looking to share Wayland migration efforts with Xfce |
 |
Over time, more Linux desktop environments are making the gradual migration from using the X11 protocol to display user interfaces and shifting to using the Wayland protocol. One of the challenges of Wayland is each desktop environment typically needs to make its own compositor, usually as part of the window manager. One exception of this division of work may turn out to be the Budgie team partnering with Xfce to share their efforts. The Register reports: "Budgie is being pragmatic - looking to see what can be done in the short-to-medium term, then having a longer-term view. Thus, the Budgie team has been evaluating options to move forward. Xfce are doing some really great work in this area with libxfce4windowing – a compatibility layer bridging Wayland and X11, allowing the move in a logical direction without needing a big-bang approach. To date, most of the current codebase has already been reworked and is ready for a Wayland-only approach without impacting further development and enhancements." Additional information about Budgie's migration and how it will affect Ubuntu Budgie can be found in The Register article. |
