For me AutoKey is absolutely essential to my workflow. I have tons of text expansions and shortcuts to "remap" keys. E.g., respectively, typing dAt expands into 2025-05-08, 13:47:40 CEST, and pressing alt + k simulates the arrow down key.

Secondly there's XScreenSaver which has so many wonderful (mathematical) visualizations that it would be a damn shame if these eventually get lost as Wayland gets more adoption.

None of these have Wayland alternatives as far as I know. For text expansion there's Espanso, but it doesn't support keyboard shortcuts yet.

Balders Gate 3. Cannot get it to work on Wayland. No issues on X11.

huh? Isn't that the thing that let's me select the DE/Compositor/Server mashup while logging in? It just occured to me that this sounds like circular reasoning, but that's what it looks like it does

Yes. It's the only package on my system that still depends on X. Without it, I could remove X entirely.

Gnome. No shell restart on wayland, and not planned.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Pardon?

GNOME defaults to Wayland. GNOME 49 is going to remove X11 support all together.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

Only new version default wayland, my version not. And not update. Until shell restart on wayland, not use wayland.

@arsCynic Nvidia drivers, prime offload with Wayland is still a no go.

I would really like to see xtrlock find its way into the Wayland session!

But at the moment, it's only available for wlroots based compositors...

Ubuntu 24.04s KDE Package. Have I borked something or when will it ask me about upgrading?

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

I used to have issues with middle click scroll, but my own solution works fine and it works on Wayland and X11 too

Mostly Beamng (ik not software but game using windows Vulkan/native Linux and a note that my de doesnt have good wayland support at this time )

I'm using Wayland right now, but tentatively.

Right now there's an issue in WoW where sometimes when I move my mouse and left-click, the camera jumps to a different position, usually trying to look up.

Only happens on Wayland and it's fixed temporarily by switching between windowed and fullscreen mode. The problem comes back sometimes when alt-tabbing and refocusing the game.

There was a bug in KDE recently where some menus weren't properly appearing on Wayland, but that seems to have been fixed after my latest update.

You could not be more wrong. It is well alive and still kicking.

I just need steam\proton\wine to support native wayland and then I'll remove xwayland from my system, can't wait

i'm on hyprland though

To me it's mostly the lack of feature parity in kwin between x11 and Wayland, specially lack of global menu support for GTK apps in Wayland.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
