I don ' t know what they were arguing about , but at least they didn ' t start throwing punches . <| sep |> This would have been better on Valentines Day . This time of year ? The horror . <| sep |> At least the developers behind the Hawaii Desktop and KDE Plasma projects have no problems cooperating on Wayland extensions . Widely used and requested features should become official Wayland extensions and not require cooperation between developers of DEs . Even if the popular DEs agree on something , less popular or new compositors will be left behind . So you will end up with a chaotic jungle of extensions . Nobody benefits from that . Also think about application developers . If there is no official way to do something , what should you do ? I ' d rather skip Wayland than implementing something that may work in some environments and not at all in others . Things like global hotkeys , color adjustments , screenshots or screen recording absolutely need a standard interface that is vetted by Wayland developers and should ideally use the Wayland interface mechanisms .
