[Qgis-user] Announcing QEP 419: Improved Wayland compatibility

Over the last couple of years, most Linux distributions and desktop
environments have been transitioning from the legacy X11 display server to
the Wayland standard. The transition has reached a stage where many
environments are now completely dropping support for the X11 server.

This presents a challenge to Linux QGIS users, as the current QGIS versions
have limitations and bugs when run in a Wayland environment.

QEP 419 aims to address these limitations in the "best possible" way, given
the (many!) constraints of Wayland.

Please see full details of the proposal at
https://github.com/qgis/QGIS-Enhancement-Proposals/pull/376. Discussion and
comments welcome!

This QEP will be submitted as part of the QGIS.org grant program
