    No, it should be an afterthought. It’s not important at all, it’s a niche weird use case. I care way more about having a functional desktop and everything else. I’m very glad it was treated as an afterthought, because I care more about literally every other feature.

    Tell me why it being an afterthought matters exactly?

        It’s important to your specific niche usecase, maybe.

        I’ve never needed to use network transparency, I don’t know anyone who has ever needed to use network transparency, and even if I did, i’d use waypipe… so…?

          Great, you don’t use it. I see it in use all over in my company, and in a couple others. It is an important core functionality. That the wayland devs ignored the use case at all to the point of other devs writing wapipe to overcome their screw up is huge.

            That’s not even a screwup, it’s been added, you’re just crying because you think your usecase is the most important for some reason.

                No, it was just a neat little extra feature.

                It’s also a feature that exists in wayland.

                  Don’t say that. It is not in wayland. That is waypipe, the kluge written to overcome the shortcoming of wayland. They are not the same thing, and it’s disingenuous for you to say so.

                    It’s not kludge, and that’s how it should’ve been implemented.

                    It isn’t a shortcoming of Wayland that the core protocol is small, that’s a benefit.

                    Can you actually say what’s wrong with waypipe?
