🤩hope I can play cyberpunk in wayland now
I really hope Proton 10 will have some sort of Wayland support, even if it would be hidden behind an environmental variable
We also need a native Wayland client for Steam, though it’s tied to Chromium Embedded Framework’s native Wayland support. Probably it will come with Electron’s support. No idea when.
Could you elaborate on the advantages, I’m using wayland and steam for games, no issues so far.
HDR support
Doesn’t valve already use gamescope (Wayland compositor) with HDR support? And KDE?
Yes, but it’s a hack, when it’s properly implemented you won’t need gamescope and it won’t have to be fullscreen as far as i’m aware, although i could be wrong about the fullscreen thing.
Ah, I guess the HDR support in Wayland is still exposed via an “experimental” interface. But it looks like a handful of Wayland compositors support it, including wlroots which a bunch of smaller compositors are based off of.
wlroots doesn’t support HDR.
It’ll be more performant, lower latency, have proper HDR support (current method is a hack), scale properly based on your displays, and probably be generally less buggy long-term (probably more buggy when it first gets added since it’s a pretty fundamental change).
You’re currently using a compatibility layer called xwayland to run it, which adds a ton of cruft.
Fractional scaling
Thought this was a satire until I realised that Wine is a linux application
What is Wine anyway? All I can work out is that it definitely is not an emulator… (probably it’s a fermented drink made from grapes, but implemented in Linux.)
By better hidpi support, does this mean that those “windows” specific windows that launch sometimes when I do things wine related will actually have a normal size on my 4k monitor instead of being microscopic?
