@navi I have not checked whether these are working, cause I don't use Wayland at home currently, but from what I learned from porting our own application at work to Wayland:
- icons of (sub) windows
- relative placement of windows to each other
Both are for example relevant with Lazarus in multi window mode (default till < 4.0). -

@whitequark did you know that Free Pascal supports its own variant of Turbo Vision named Free Vision which is the base for the Turbo Pascal-like text mode IDE and that works on many of the targets that FPC supports? 😁

@Photor @nixCraft @blub at least FPC can also be used on Atari ST 😁 (though I don't know whether the IDE is usable yet 🤔)

@nixCraft still working with Pascal, though not Turbo Pascal I had started with, but Free Pascal and even working on the compiler 😁

@mjg59 one issue with ACPI - though it's an issue of specific vendors instead of ACPI in general - is that on Qualcomm ARM Laptops Qualcomm decided to move quite some logic into their Windows drivers instead of ACPI due to the Windows ASL parser being buggy compared to ACPICA which makes running alternative operating systems using purely ACPI on these laptops a bit annoying as one needs to reverse engineer the drivers to discover the interactions between devices 🙄
