So Raspbian will be the only viable option on the new Raspberry Pi 4 due to the lack of Wayland for the VideoCore 6?


> lack of Wayland for the VideoCore 6

What?

Even VideoCore 4 with the Mesa vc4 driver supports Wayland — since it's Mesa, of course it implements GBM and whatnot. I've used Weston on an RPi3 with Arch Linux ARM.

For VideoCore 5/6, IIUC the only driver is Mesa v3d, even better situation, of course everything should work, and it will always work since no proprietary crap driver would ever get into people's hands.


I would like to know what is the plan for raspberry pi.
