  • Very much pro-Wayland in my case.

    Just saying that certain CEF/Electron apps (especially those running on older Chromium version) are what is causing certain Wayland specific issues, hence my issue is on the application side (Steam, Spotify etc.), not on Wayland’s side… My bad for the badly worded post which made it seem like the classical “Wayland bad!” posts.

    I haven’t touched X11/Xorg in years, nor am I planning on reverting back to it anytime.



  • Why have a consistent Wayland experience when each application can run it’s own Electron version with varying degrees of enforced Wayland flags, and/or such an outdated Chromium version Wayland is just jank.

    Edit:

    Was trying to say that most of these CEF/Electron applications all need their own separate Wayland specific (Chromium) flags to have better Wayland support/integration. And the older Electron applications typically use an older Chromium as base, having even worse Wayland support… Was not trying to make this a “Wayland bad!” kind of post.

    TL;DR: Electron applications have wildly varying level of Wayland support/integration, don’t have any Wayland issues other than specific CEF/Electron apps!
