Apologies if this should have been asked at somewhere like https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/ instead. Because I expect that “Yes, KWin” is the answer, I’ve asked here.
Sometimes when reporting an issue for a specific display protocol (Wayland, for instance, rather than X) I want to provide a reference to assist reproduction. As an example, I’d like to respond to Text looks bad on Wayland · Issue #386 · Stremio/stremio-shell · GitHub with an counter-example demonstrating it working for me, to help to narrow-down the scope of the issue. Because “Wayland” is merely a series of documents describing a protocol, I’d like to know what software to cite to provide an actionable reference.
This was more simple for X, since I’d go by https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org//packages/xorg-x11-server/1.20.14/35.fc40/x86_64/xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.20.14-35.fc40.x86_64.rpm. However, the architecture of Wayland causes me to expect that the compositor is what I should reference.
I can see at Wayland (protocol) - Wikipedia that libwayland-server
and libwayland-client
are probably what I really want to use as references, but I don’t see them installed as discrete packages, so are they compiled into KWin? If so, I’ll just cite https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org//packages/kwin/6.0.4.1/1.fc40/x86_64/kwin-wayland-6.0.4.1-1.fc40.x86_64.rpm.
