Curious from people who follow its development closely.

  • What protocol are about to be finally implemented?
  • Which ones are still a struggle?
  • How many serious protocols are there missing?

    No the implementations are per-compositor. The fact that this worked on X is due to.XOrg being a huge blob that every window manager relied on.

    Look for the command in Mutter (GNOME), Kwin (KDE), or whatever DE you use.

        Its how Linux works lol. I mean there are tons of things per compositor.

        The protocols are way cleaner and less, so it is easier for Distros to just write their own.

        But for sure it is annoying that everyone wants to do their own. But that is not a Wayland problem, just nobody wanted to mess with XOrg.

          Seems wasteful that each would need to build their own monitor power management interface.

            They dont need to, a Desktop could just use another compositor and the rest of the stuff but they often dont. wlroots is a project doing some general work, but most of the others dont.

              Looks like it is hyprctl dispatch dpms on/off <hdmi_monitor_name> && hyprctl dispatch dpms on/off <main_monitor_name> Wlroots doesn’t cover dpms

              Also maybe via swayidle but I think dpms off, also triggers session lock
