    Every now and then I think ‘OK, this time I surely should be able to switch over to Wayland!’

    And there’s always one application or use case that stops me.

    Yeah, I’m on nvidia which hasn’t helped either…

      For What application you face issue? I’m curious as XWayland should provide backward compatibility.

        Electron applications are notorious and prolific, and resolutions are very specific to versions and details of the program’s build process.

        Steam can be a big old flashy boi

          +1, I have huge issues with Electron apps running on native Wayland. Fractional scaling doesn’t work, when I maximise an app it’s not covering my whole screen, same happens when manually resizing windows. What’s worse some apps do scale button positions, ex. native Discord, so when I click a button, something else to the left gets clicked. XWayland works fine though

            There are multiple ways depending on the version of electron the app was built against

      Same I want to move over so bad. It’s so smooth and the animations feel much nicer but there is always a deal breaker issue that sends me back to x11 within a few hours.

      Yeah, had a rtx 2060 and sidegraded to an intel arc a750 just to avoid the nvidia xwayland issues.
