Xfce's Refreshed Wayland Attempt Is Getting Interesting


Listen Later

Based on Rust, of course, Xfce has stopped its previous attempt at porting Xfwm to Wayland, and instead, created Xfwl. Going forward, it'll be interesting to see what kind of progress the team makes with a clean slate. But it makes us wonder... who's gonna use it? Every Xfce user we encounter much prefers living on X šŸ¤”

And of course, we can't talk about desktops without slipping in a little Cosmic 😊
