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?

    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.

            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.

                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.
