[artix-general] [s6] wayland and perhaps pipewire

[Javier]

Can one launch a wayland compositor when using s6 init and supervisor?  I wouldn't have thought the init+supervisor have anything to do with the graphical environment, but for example pipewire [1], which is used to share screen on webrtc (or so I understood), seems to depend on systemd.  I'm not sure if elogind would provide that systemd functionality that pipewire requires.  Neither I know if one would really require pipewire at all to support screen sharing.  My current ways to share screen are through slack, zoom and VNC (there's a wayvnc), and I'm not sure why pipewire if pipewire would be required at all.  Actually I don't use pulseAudio, and I don't like the idea of pipewire either, but it might be necessary in the future, don't know...  Does any one know if while using S6, there would be any trouble using pipewrire, and if required at all for the screen sharing needs I mentioned?

So, I'm wondering if the same way pipewire is dependent on some systemd functionality, then is wayland somehow dependent on systemd functionality as well?  If so, is that satisfied by elogind?  Does any one know if while using S6, there would be any trouble using wayland?

I'm not in a hurry with wayland, but long term the plan is to use LXQt + some compsitor (I prefer kwin, given Qt based as well), but that's far from ready.  In a shorter term, I was planning to test the Wayfire compositor without DE (I don't use KDE neither Gnome).  I understand for some apps, xwayland is required, but the idea would be to keep minimizing the dependency on xwayland as things evolve...  So I wanted to start exploring wayland, but 1st I wanted to know if there would be any limitation with S6, on a day to day usage.

Thanks !
