new Raspi OS release

[rkorell]

@mumblebaj , @sdetweil ,
any idea, advise what will happen if updating bookworm while NOT using wayfire but X11 (because wayfire doesn’t work even in the earlier bookworm I had reconfigure to X11 in raspi-config)?

Thanks for any hint.

Regards,
Ralf

@rkorell I just switched back to Wayfire now and it works fine for me. I am running Pi5. When I tested X11 the screen blanking did not work for me. I have been reading around Labwc and wlopm but have seen a lot of people having issues with Labwc. I will test it later today but for now I have switched back to Wayfire.

I still take my mirror displays and put them back into X11 mode. It’s what I understand, it’s what allows me to do what I want to do.

So from your perspective X11 still does work?

Thanks and regards,

@BKeyport X11 does not work for me, hence I use Wayfire. As Labwc is supposed to be the newer lighter compositor, I would like to get that to work for me.

@mumblebaj @rkorell and rumor has it x11 is gone next release

edit: seems rumors are not true for trixie (next release code name)

[mumblebaj]

@sdetweil I did not see it mentioned for trixie, but that is possible.

bad news :-(

But may things becomes better and the wayland implementation is better in Trixie than in Bookworm…

@rkorell Just read that X11 is still there in Trixie. So no stress yet, but yes, it is old and may be on it’s way out one of these good ol days.

@mumblebaj

Thanks for information!

I currently stay with x11 because - at least in my configuration - I wasn’t able to use wayland …
If this becomes better in further releases I simply would switch…
