Weird because Wayland is enabled by default, if Firefox detects that your system is ready.
Yeah it’s going to take a while for people to move over to Wayland.
I’m not using wayland because I need to screenshare
Is not OBS working on Wayland yet?
It works AFAIK.
Not positive about OBS, it’s mostly support in software I use
What do you mean by “not positive” and what is the relation with that you support it or not?
You mean that is not your kind of software since you didn’t have a positive experience with it and because of that you don’t support it?
I think, they’re saying that they have to use a certain video chat client for their job, and that video chat client doesn’t support screen sharing on Wayland yet, even if Wayland itself would be ready for it.
“Not positive” in this context means “unsure” (i.e., the above commenter is unsure about whether or not OBS works in Wayland or not, but they rely on some other software which they know is incompatible with Wayland)
Thank you for the explanation.
I am not familiar with that kind of expression.
Scaling on Wayland doesn’t work for me so X11 is here to stay until that gets fixed
Hmm, do you think that more than 10% of desktop Linux users are on Wayland?
I think a better question would be, ‘Aren’t you mad that about 90% of Linux desktop still don’t run Wayland?’
The only reason I’m not using Wayland is because I need an uncapped framerate for osu!, which isn’t possible right now on Wayland
I wish my machine didn’t have an Nvidia GPU so I could use it.
I wish I could use Wayland but the software I use to work, which needs to take screenshots of my desktop, can’t take any screenshots from it (on my case, using Sway). And the company who made it give zero fs to find a fix to it.
I couldn’t run signal or bitwarden when I used Wayland. (Some electron bug). And also CS:GO.
- Signal on Wayland.
- CS go runs trough xwayland, there are also other workarounds.
- Bitwarden workaround for wayland discussed over here.
I use X11 in the PC at home and Wayland in the hard drive from which I boot the PC at the classroom.
Maybe that’s a stupid question (some might say there’s no such thing), but why would I run Wayland?
It looks like I would have to jump through hoops whereas x11 just works. I’m not being sarcastic or ironical, just genuinely wondering.
One of the many benefits is reduced latency.
