    Nothing like investing over an hour into a game with friends only to crash due to some Linux specific issue.

    There’s a feature called Compositor Handoffs coming to Wayland that’ll make it so crashes will never be a problem again. This feature can do 3 things :

    • Act as a seamless crash recovery system where the exact state of the application is restored.
    • Act as a fully robust hibernation system where the exact state of the application is restored after full device poweroff for an indefinite amount of time.
    • Pass the application and it’s state between supported Desktop Environments and Window Managers on the fly.

    We happen to have a working prototype rn, it just needs the kinks worked out.
