Fedora 41: Crucial Rootless Enhancement for xwayland-satellite Update
fedora
September 13, 2025
Update niri to version 25.08 and xwayland-satellite to version 0.7
Summary
xwayland-satellite grants rootless Xwayland integration to any Wayland
compositor implementing xdg_wm_base and viewporter. This is particularly
useful for compositors that (understandably) do not want to go through
implementing support for rootless Xwayland themselves.
Update Information:
Update niri to version 25.08 and xwayland-satellite to version 0.7. Notably, niri now supports xwayland out-of-the-box without manual configuration, and reading keyboard layout from org.freedesktop.locale1.
