Since Wayland compositors handle input devices on a lower level than X11 window managers, every compositor has to figure out on their own what a “mouse wheel click” is:

• https://github.com/labwc/labwc/issues/1068
  
• https://github.com/labwc/labwc/pull/2933
  

(I think “Wayland compositor” is a misnomer. They are full-blown display servers that also do compositing, plus Wayland window management, plus X11 window management.)

One can only hope that all this eventually gets moved into the wlroots library. (I’m not sure if that’s possible, nor if people would want that.)

The media either doesn’t understand this or is afraid to accurately report it. However, I have been checking the polls everyday for th … ⌘ Read more

Wine now runs on NixOS!
Finally we can run all those legacy\
applications… Thanks to Michael Raskin for adding Wine
and a NPTL-enabled Glibc (which Wine seems to need). This is a
nice application of purely functional package composition, by
the way: Wine didn’t work with the standard Glibc in Nixpkgs, … ⌘ Read more
