    Thanks for your reply; i won’t work with firmware-level aspects of the stack, as my plan is to write the userspace daemon, while keeping the kernel-levels modules identical and to communicate to them via HCI sockets, as they are implemented by Linux and with them I can talk directly to the bluetooth controllers.

    I’ll check out Android’s project and double-check for security vulnerabilities in older version of the protocols tho, so thank you again for replying.












  • Yes, but I can still play steam, any Valve game and atm any Linux steam game on X11.

    I don’t hate Wayland as a project, I just don’t like Wayland as it current state. Give me better stability, better support with multiple monitors and a compositor with more customization, and I’ll be happy.

    But, in my opinion, Wayland is by design opinionated. Some ideas are good, such as the security model, some are both good and bad, such as the Compositor VS Server+WM debate (both good systems in my opinion), some are just bad (no unified screen management option; obviously there are LOTS of protocol extension, but not all are supporting everywhere)

    So, imo, WayLand just needs a stable, (really) customizable Compositor with all useful extensions and designed to put other components together; I’m still on my X11+awesomewm+rofi+polybar, and I want a customizable, stable and module approach on Wayland.

    I can see, in some rare-but-actually-possible conditions, all of those elements happen, but not the last one.

    Why would Adobe and Microsoft release software for WebAssembly/Web environments, when Microsoft wants to keep you locked in their shitty environment?

    What I could see is that the FOSS alternatives keep getting updated (some of them, like LibreOffice, are full alternatives to close-source software and they have been like that for years), the user population expands (expecially with Adobe and MS wanting to put subscriptions everywhere) and using FOSS software as alternatives for Office, Premiere, PhotoShop, … becomes the norm.
