I wonder if Wayland supports opening more than 512 windows at once. I learned that X11 does not, and that making it support more apparently wastes a bunch of memory:

Quote:

Note that raising MAXCLIENTS lowers the number of resources each client can have since the resource namespace is fixed across all clients in the X11 protocol, and evenly divided among them.

Shouldn't that be satisfied by xwayland?

Sorry for the lousy German

You would think so, but even with xwayland-dev installed, no luck.

gbk is 50 probably

No, the build would require xorg-dev for sure. Surprising that a build requires the server to be running. Might be a sanity check gone wrong.

Apparently now Firefox can run on Wayland natively.
