LibreOffice Ported To Run On Wayland
An anonymous reader writes: LibreOffice has lost its X11 dependency on Linux and can now run smoothly under Wayland. LibreOffice has been ported to Wayland by adding GTK3 tool-kit support to the office suite over the past few months. LibreOffice on Wayland is now in good enough shape that the tracker bug has been closed and it should work as well as X11 except for a few remaining bugs. LibreOffice 5.0 will be released next month with this support and other changes outlined by the 5.0 release notes.
The majority of Linux users don't use or need the remote features of X
Since most people don't use it, then just screw the people who do? Is that what you're saying? Hey, might as well burn the compiler too, and who really needs Samba? Get rid of all that nasty IPv6 code too, it's bloated and almost no one uses it.
Saying "most people don't use it, so we can get rid of it" is moronic. You are the problem with the world.
"First they came for the slanderers and i said nothing."
"Neckbeards" aren't impressed with change because they've seen several cycles of it before. They also aren't taken in with "new shiny shiny" because they also have enough experience to realize the new isn't always better.
I don't have any problems with "proper hardware acceleration" or "multi-display support".
Perhaps you should stop the self-flaggelation and stop using total crap.
In fact, not wanting to give up on "proper hardware acceleration" is the number one reason I despise Wayland. Remote support is a bit of a distant 2nd.
Wayland won't make the drivers that currently suck suck any less. It will just lock you out of the ones that don't suck.
A Pirate and a Puritan look the same on a balance sheet.
If so, this is another victory for Red Hat.
It is looking like Red Hat will monopolize Linux.
Is Wayland dependent on systemd, or not?
Why accuse me of trolling if you don't even know?
