3:09:35 glenneth2 Good morning o/

5:23:03 jackdaniel hey

5:30:59 jackdaniel here's a confusing tidbit about wayland: the window is not showed on the screen (at all) until the first render

5:31:31 jackdaniel I can infer where that design decision comes from, but it is terribly confusing for people who port to wayland without knowing that

5:37:35 glenneth2 Hey jackdaniel

5:38:06 glenneth2 That's an unusual choice to make?

5:38:27 jackdaniel well, the first thing you do, when you try new things, is creating a window

5:38:37 jackdaniel you do that, and window does not show

5:38:47 glenneth2 Exactly

5:38:49 jackdaniel so you think -- "I must have screwed up", and go deeper

5:38:55 jackdaniel instead of proceeding to adding the renderer

5:40:00 jackdaniel i.e when you call create window on sdl2, on all platforms a window with either garbage or black filling is shown; except wayland, where you see only the icon on the taskbar, yet no window nor decorations

5:40:39 glenneth2 yeah. That is unusual. I didn't know that, TIL
