The ext-image-capture-source-v1 and ext-image-copy-capture-v1 screen copy protocols build upon wlroots' wlr-screencopy-unstable-v1 with various improvements for better screen capture support under Wayland. These new protocols should allow for better performance and window capturing support for use-cases around RDP/VNC remote desktop, screen sharing, and more.

Merge Request: Create ext-image-capture-source-v1 and ext-image-copy-capture-v1

Wayland might be the future, it still seems to have a lot of work necessary to completely replace X11. Screen capture sure doesn't have a good UX with like 3 popups to confirm that I want to share something.

XDG portals

Does anyone know of this gets us closer to having a working software KVM solution with Wayland?

I've tried Synergy, Input Leap, and Waynergy, but nothing seems to work, unfortunately.

No way, so the x11 Wayland bridge shit is no longer necessary?

[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 months ago

The standard way is to use XDG portals
