The missing Wayland protocols for features that are available in X11 (but are denied by the official Wayland protocols)
What exactly is the goal of this repo. I don't believe the end game for protocols added here should be for this repo to become a hard alternative to wayland-protocols...
I find it really annoying that in the Wayland world, the code that generates server-side window decorations (a.k.a. window title bars) is baked into the "display server" itself (Wayland compositor)....
People think that Wayland is only wayland-protocols and the restricted protocols provided by it but that's not true.

List Microsoft Windows features that are impossible to do with today's Wayland (without additional software such as Portals, Pipewire, D-Bus, etc.). Contributions welcome.

In X11, there is the concept of a "window" which can be referred to by its unique Window ID (wid). On Wayland, there is `zwlr_foreign_toplevel_handle_v1` and `xdg_toplevel`. Apparently the latter...

The thing is pipewire and portals all ready exist but may be hard to use so for the things that can be done with wayland but require a shift in...
Hello friends! This is a project set up to brainstorm about the "missing Wayland protocols", the stuff that would be needed to bring Wayland closer to X11 functionality. This project...
