I stumbled upon this post regarding an earlier rant about wayland, but now it seems fine, according to the author.
After using Linux for nearly 5 years, using both depending on distros defaults, I have to admit that I never got the core/main/game changing differences between wayland and x11.
To be said, that I also dont do fancy linux things other than basic sysadmin stuff and from time to time repair the mess my curiosity left behind.
Could somebody explain the differences between those two and afterwards maybe also say some words about what this has to do with the difference between window managers and desktop environments?
I am also happy about links to good blog posts or stuff, that target this very questions (as long as the questions make sence of course). Thanks beforehand :)
Looks like XDG Desktop Portal is using dbus and expects it: https://flatpak.github.io/xdg-desktop-portal/docs/common-conventions.html
And for the one user in your link https://snoo.habedieeh.re/r/voidlinux/comments/1471jbk/why_do_i_need_to_start_sway_with_dbusrunsession/jnxpxz7/?context=3#jnxpxz7 stating instead using d-bus, would use
seatd, I assume it has compatibility with d-bus. He recommends to uninstall d-bus in that case. I have no idea what seatd can do and if this is applicable to other distributions than Void Linux. So unfortunately I don’t know more than you. It makes sense that some sort of messaging is required in sandboxed environments.Funny enough I just looked in my Archlinux based system and look what we have, seatd is installed already. And
dbusis also installed.
