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.

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
Isn't there some way to force Electron to use Wayland?
There are multiple ways depending on the version of electron the app was built against
+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

use this it's better in every way.
Except it also has said issue. Additionally it causes my VPN connection to drop when watching streams, and does noise cancellation despite that option being disabled.
That's bizarre, i have no such issues on hyprland or sway.
what DE are you using? Are they running in native wayland mode?
KDE Plasma, yes that happens when electron apps run in native Wayland mode
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.
