Wayland at time of writing (October 2020) is still lacking a few features that I think should be server side functionality. Im currently using sway on my main desktop machine and am generally very happy with it. Scaling is alright for xWayland and good for native wayland apps. Hopefully it will become more polished with time and more devs will give it attention. I'd love to help out though I'm not much of a systems programmer. I can just about tweak my setup let alone code the apps myself!
I tried to install 2x times one gnome and xfce. first sudo didn't work but su did. error unable to find command. software error unable to update date cache. I spent many hours to correct and give up. Mainly command line was not working. In my past if GUI doesn't work well I have used command install apt command in terminal. Personal I think its buggy,but other distros I use with debain 10 no issues like these.
I really don't like this black transparent overlay of the presentation slides. It makes it harder to read the slides. I guess that FOSDEM is responsible for this.
Weston is the reference implementation of the wayland protocol. Most desktop environment (ie gnome, kde, ...) and window managers (hyprland, sway, river,...) have their own implementation of the wayland protocol, which is the program actually running If you use gnome, the wayland implementation is mutter, kwin on kde, and wlroot is the one used by most window managers. So yes, weston does not run on your computer. Mutter, kwin, wlroot,... are the ones running on your computer
Fantastic talk, probably one of the best regarding wayland...
I don't really feel a lot smarter.
Wish there was a hour version of this talk.

FYI I just read sudo is not default.I'm going to try the 3rd install today.Wish me luck.

FYI wrong place for my comment. programmer place.

still kinda confused. says weston isnt a program you run on your computer. but then talks about weston running on the computer.

I have never seen someone demonstrate the bad stuff they say the x server does
