[cosmic-randr] uses the wlr output configuration Wayland protocols.
Does this mean cosmic-randr should work on other compositors that support the wlr output configuration protocol (e.g. sway, hyprland, river, …)? It’s great to see cosmic adopting existing protocols, instead of compositor specific protocols (or worse, no external app support at all).
Also, it’s great how portable Cosmic DE seems to be, as it’s already mostly packaged on NixOS. On first look, cosmic-term seems to be a quick terminal so I might switch to it, as well as cosmic-files.
If they support the wlr output configuration protocols, then yes it’ll work fine. There are some more advanced features that we want that aren’t supported by the protocol though, so we will likely develop some cosmic protocol extensions for those features.
