Wayland is so goddamn close, this is the only app I’m waiting for before I can get rid of xwayland besides steam/proton
Many things still don’t work for me just a black screen. I try from time to time. I’m using bottles and disabled X11 permissions in flatpak to test wayland. I only play older titles (pre-2010). The oldest game I have is Total Annihilation (1997), and I also have Anno 1602 (1998). Neither game runs on Wayland, and they’re not the only ones. Some games do work, like majesty 2, but it has broken camera movement with the mouse. Wayland and wndows are too different to make certain behaviors match, so Xwayland is still needed for some applications.
GE has already put the Wayland patches into Proton so if you could ditch Steam you could get rid of XWayland now.
Steam is very strange anyways. On the Steam Deck gaming mode launches the Wayland compositor gamescope which launches Steam in XWayland which launches games in gamescope which launches the game in a second XWayland session.
