The appview needs to index the relay contents to build a view of the whole network, the relay is just a type of CDN, and is NOT that expensive. There are multiple individuals maintaining full copies right now, while the network is at double digit millions of users. The relay is by far less expensive.

Great, but how much do these people pay to maintain a relay of the entire network? I bet a lot more than for a fediverse server that only has to maintain a small fraction of the whole network.

There is another problem: these other relays are all copies of the Bluesky relay, where the official app publishes the messages of its users, so they are not independent from each other; if I publish my posts on a relay other than Bluesky’s I will not be able to communicate with them.

The relay is very expensive, it collects and receives messages from the whole network.

The appview it’s not the problem, that’s just an user of the relay.

Essentially it’s a centralized platform. Independent PDS cannot work without a big expensive relay managed by a large corporation

My goal is to code basic buttons and understand how operating systems implement the way they draw windows for applications.

So do you want to program a GUI yourself, and not using a library, correct ?

Thanks for the detailed answers. So we can say that Wayland sacrifices lower latency in exchange for higher accuracy.

According to this post Gnome allows you to change this behavior through an environment variable (MUTTER_DEBUG_ENABLE_ATOMIC_KMS=0 on Ubuntu 22.04). It should be a configurable option, considering the amount of people complaining about this mouse behavior.

Oh and this is also why the cursor movement might visibly start stuttering during heavy GPU load. This is a problem that was solved back in the 80s but here we are…

Sad, but does this problem only affect Wayland or also Xorg?

For example, the recently publicized about mouse latency differences is true and something I’ve noticed but the difference doesn’t particularly bother me. Something like that is just one of those inevitable consequences of the design of Wayland being so fundamentally different.

It would be interesting if someone explained the relationship between Wayland design and mouse latency

A major problem with SoftMaker is that the equation editor does not work on Linux (and macOS)
