just question Wayland and Emacs

just question Wayland and Emacs

[황병희]

Hi i am chromebook user. Someday far later, if again i buy new chromebook
(Pixelbook Go -- Atlas), i would like to use Emacs via Crostini. Already
Chrome OS is going with Wayland as the version 76.0.3809.136 [1]. So i
question. How is it going to be Wayland porting for Emacs? As end user, i'm
somewhat curious about that. Really i will like Wayland-Emacs^^^

Sincerely,

Why would  XWayland not be an option? Is it for Wayland purity? Or does XWayland not work in ChromeOS?

I’m not a developer, but I think Emacs doesn’t have a working Wayland backend. [0]
It does have a fork[1] working on a pure GTK3 backend though, so maybe that might be sufficient for your use.
