xwayland: allow to disable xwayland via config option

[vnepogodin]

Adds ability to disable xwayland without recompilation with the flag

[vaxerski]

so it just adds an option but that option aint doing nothin'?

By default yes nothing will happen, because by default xwayland is enabled.

If you add:

xwayland {
  enabled = false
}

Then it wont spawn xwayland.

based on the diff I'd like to contest that statement

[vnepogodin]

lol the other file hasnt been added

[vaxerski]

well, add it then maybe? :)

yeah already pushed. sry haha

outside of this, since xwayland runs in parallel, you'll need to add a function (probably in the config manager) to check the status of xwayland on config reloads.

if someone edits the option, we might want to kill / start xwayland

well I'd rather restrict editing that option. It should be initiated just once in the lifetime of the program

this is absolutely wrong, as xwayland will naturally be shut down if no xwayland apps are open, anyways (lazy mode in hyprland is always on)

the intention for it is to force everything to native wayland. in lazy mode it will still launch as x11 app if broken detection with happened for it to fallback to xorg, etc

[vaxerski]

yes, but what I want is for people to be able to dynamically toggle xwayland on / off.

As in, if xwayland is enabled and there are xwayland apps open, and someone disables it, kill xwayland.

force everything to native wayland.

that is done by setenv and unsetenv of $DISPLAY

well yeah I can look into that

You don’t need any extra parameters, you can do this and xwayland won’t start.

env = WLR_XWAYLAND, /dev/null
