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?

    I dont know what that means. Normally the monitor turns off when the PC stops sending a signal. In KDE i can easily configure when to dim, turn off, lock etc. the screen.

            What does this mean? Like unplugging without unplugging? Keeping one screen active and only turning off the other one?

            I mean in the KDE monitor options I can choose [mirror,extend to left,extend to right,only external,only internal] so this is 100% possible.

                This will be possible and likely available as a command for your specific compositor. What are you using?

                  It was the one that came default with ubuntu 22.10 But as I have stated in my initial post, the feature had been restored by reinstalling Xwindow Also, I feel that the commands equivalent to

                  xset dpms force off
                  xset dpms force standby
                  xset dpms force suspend
                  

                  Should be the same regardless which wayland variant you are using.

                    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.
