Some guy on reddit compared how many lines of wayland code were merged versus how many there are.

The full driver consists of 22,617 lines of C code:

Merged are 2,622 (11.6%).

And that's a long ride...

I'm happy to see the code merging, even if slowly

It really depends. I assume foundational code changes that seem quite small on a cursory look are much harder to merge than the final code dump where the actual backend is added.

Still can't run anything without q4wine and it seems to have broken input support in all of my games. I guess I'll keep waiting. Once in a while there comes a version that's utterly broken on my system.

Linux quality news.. no feature, they just started to implement something.. value for end user until is done zero..
Good products, have better/real announcements. These over positive, biased news makes Linux ridiculous.. its like some blind religion.. Get better.
