minus-squareLeFantome@programming.devlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·3 days agoOnce they get their Wayland compositor working, I would not be surprised if Steam runs on it.
minus-squareVictor@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·2 days agoInteresting! Could I already run another compositor on it, like Niri, and start playing already?
minus-squareBatmanAoD@programming.devlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·2 days agoNo; Wayland is also a protocol, and Niri relies on that protocol, so Niri doesn’t bypass the need for Wayland support.
minus-squareVictor@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·2 days agoRight but if they finish Wayland support, I could run Niri and Steam, basically, right? And Slack and do screen sharing and whatnot.
minus-squareBatmanAoD@programming.devlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·2 days agoOh, I thought by “already” you meant right now. I would expect that you can use any Wayland-compatible compositor once their Wayland support is complete, yeah. Not sure about Steam.
