Keep in mind that the current XWayland is very barebones and there are many improvements planned like glamor support direct rendering etc. So I would expect quite a lot of improvements still for mutter as a wayland compositor and xwayland. Very surprised that theming etc. works great already. I can launch the xfce terminal which uses XWayland and it still has the proper theme applied.

The SDL 2 package on Arch is compiled with --enable-video-wayland if anyone wants to try out running a Steam game native with local libs (disable STEAM_RUNTIME) or use LD_PRELOAD. Don't know if you'd need SDL_VIDEODRIVER=wayland aswell.

Remember that composite bypass thing we were all talking about a while ago? What happened to that?
It's fine if there's some structural difference in xwayland vs xmir that doesn't allow it, but if there isn't (and it improves performance per-application that much, since all apps are "full-screen") why hasn't it been done yet? Is it a dirty performance hack or something?

Source games and Steam are using a version recent enough AFAIK.

you could spin it differently. If you use a tiling wm u solve all problems that wayland does + some more.
