Really interesting !
Would it work on SFOS Ports aswell ?
Also I'm a noob in linux and it's commands so can someone explain me what kind of apps we would be able to run with this ?
Thank you.
This is important for any piece of software that has a window. Most of them are built to use X11. In order to allow them to run on a system that uses Wayland, XWayland has been developed, but until now, I think I'm right in saying it hasn't been possible to run it on Sailfish.
So this removes that constraint, and will make it possible for applications that needed an X server to run, to run on Sailfish. Examples are Libreoffice, Gimp, Thunderbird, etc.
Read about

b) X Window System: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X_Window_System
c) XWayland: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waylan...ibility_with_X

Can't wait what a working XWayland on Sailfish brings!

The next step would be to package everything so that the non techies can also profit from it.
Do things like sound, video work?
I haven't set up audio yet. It's probably just a matter of setting PULSE_SERVER environment variable in the chroot. Maybe also some command inside SFOS to get pulseaudio to accept the connection.

This is great news! Anyone try it on Jolla tablet? Would something like wxmaxima work? Presumably I would have to download the code and compile it on device. If that is the case, from which repositories should I try downloading code that is a best match for Jolla? Thanks!

You could also install lxpanel so you can easily launch programs within the gui. (Plasma itself doesn't work properly because it tries to run natively in wayland)

Note: You don't have to use Manjaro. I just picked it because I like Arch, but I'm too lazy for real Arch. Any distro with recent plasma/kwin should work (5.7 or later, i think. Maybe older. Debian Jessie is too old). Here is an Ubuntu rootfs you could use if you prefer debian-style package management. You should be able to apt-get install kwin, xwayland, onboard, and whatever other packages you need. The packages I installed in the first post are certainly overkill.

Fantastic! This is what I had always hoped for in a Jolla device. Probably could even make a Jolla pc with btkb now!

If you're having trouble with the lockscreen popping up,
un-check the option to lock the screen.
Code:
kcmshell5 screenlocker
