🌗 GNOME 50 劃下句點：X11 時代終結，Wayland 邁入新紀元
➤ 告別 X11，迎接 Wayland：GNOME 50 帶來桌面顯示技術的重大變革
✤ https://linuxiac.com/gnome-50-ends-the-x11-era-after-decades/
GNOME 50 版本標誌著 X11 顯示伺服器的時代正式結束，GNOME 專案在歷經漫長的演進後，已完全遷移至 Wayland 作為預設的顯示協定。雖然 X11 核心程式碼已從 Mutter 和 GNOME Shell 中移除，但透過 XWayland 相容層，傳統 X11 應用程式仍可在 Wayland 環境下運作。此舉讓 GNOME 團隊能更專注於 Wayland 特有的功能開發，如 HDR、色彩管理和輸入處理等，預計將為使用者帶來更佳的桌面體驗。
+ 標題有點誤導，GNOME 50 並不能結束整個 X11 時代，GNOME 的影響力也不是那麼廣泛，它頂多隻能結束 GNOME 自己對 X11 的支援。
+ Wayland 終於要成為主

Doing a routine expansion of my XCompose file! 𝐒𝐨 𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐲 𝐧𝐞𝐰 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬. ( So many new characters.)

I had an idea, and now I’m wondering… how well could this approach scale…?

I built a latency meter with an Arduino and a photo transistor to answer one question: Is click-to-photon latency higher on Wayland than on X11?

And the answer is: Yes, actually.

⏱️ 42 ms on X11, compositing off
⏱️ 56 ms on X11, compositing on
⏱️ 64 ms on Wayland
⏱️ 71 ms on Windows 10

Tested with Plasma 6.3.4 and Firefox 137. I will improve my methods and confirm these numbers. See replies for details.

Wrote a blogpost about simple (I mean with a shell and a text editor) #X11 configuration.

Covered topics:
1) #Trackball configuration for left hand. Also remapping of some buttons to have scrolling and middle button (not exists out of the box).
2) Theming: #GTK2 #GTK3 #QT , installing cursor(s), fonts and icons.
3) #Xrandr for multimonitor configuration
4) #Xserver settings for #HighDPI
5) #XDG utils and #Emacs as a system file manager
6) #XDM login window

Delightful commons news 🔥

Thanks to @nlnet I was able to give new impetus to delightful commons, and yesterday added new sections to the #fediverse experience list:

https://delightful.coding.social/delightful-fediverse-experience

New sections added under Fediversity:

- ActivityPub bots
- Browser extensions
- Fediverse metrics
- Tools and utilities
- Mastodon API based

🥳 Even better.. There is a new delightful list created and maintained by @lmemsm and collecting delightful #X11 resources.
