Wrong: https://www.gamingonlinux.com/articles/gnomes-mutter-gets-fu...

I get it, all these features that used to just be supported by the one Xorg server now need to be supported by individual compositors - but still, it is simply misinformation that "Wayland" is broken because Mutter / Kwin / Sway are incomplete.

How is a 1yo merge request about "surface fullscreen unredirect" relevant to a complaint about forcing compositing on WINDOWED applications?

If it isn’t broken, then give an example of a compositor that isn’t broken.

A protocol with zero practical implementations is, in practice, broken.

I specifically said "windowed applications". This is talking about fullscreen applications.
