@joepie91 it's nice having someone else that knows x11 dev on the timeline finally :3
@kim Begrudgingly :p
@joepie91 yeah it definitely isn't fun, that's for sure. but compared to wayland it sips battery on my laptop
@kim FWIW, Wayland is a protocol rather than a specific implementation, so it's also possible that other Wayland compositors may exist that aren't so power-hungry, because different compositors don't necessarily share any implementation code
@kim I mean, I can't find my hueg X protocol book right now so I can't verify, but I definitely recall every single documentation resource hammering on "your window will NOT be shown until you map it, do not forget!!!" so I'm kind of extrapolating from that
@joepie91 this... also makes sense. thank you for correcting me :D
