    Michael Apparently forum filter words won't magically get a pass when trying to use Beetlejuice rules...

    A bug? How can you enable a feature which is outside the scope of the Wayland protocol? Wine developers have clearly said dragging WinAMP by its title will not work under Wayland. And that's not the only Windows/Xorg feature that will be missing. Global shortcuts support for Windows/Wine applications? Again, will not work.

    Keep eating shit, just stop trying to convince others that it's tasty.

    And if you don't need it, doesn't mean no one else needs it. I know Linux fans love to wear a crown and think the world revolves around them, but sadly the opposite is true: Linux is an absolutely marginal OS, the vast majority of people don't even know it exists.

    People need to get shit done. Not pray to a new "modern" graphics stack. It's not modern. It's ugly, incomplete and limited as hell. It was created for kiosks running a single full screen application.

    How long until this makes its way into Proton? It'd be nice to finally get rid of one of the last uses of XWayland on my system (the other being IBus which is seeing active development upstream now. I hope KDE soon adds support to KWin for the various text input / input method protocols, etc, IME has been a bit of a mess on Wayland)
    I've been using Proton with Wayland for the past month or so on KDE. CachyOS ships with a custom Proton runner that includes native Wayland support. I've been able to use it to play HDR enabled games without Gamescope.

    Code:
    DXVK_HDR=1 ENABLE_HDR_WSI=1 PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 gamemoderun mangohud %command%
    I also have to open up Winecfg and manually set the DPI.

    What's funny is that the game will be in HDR while Mangohud is rendered in SDR. It makes Mangohud look really dull compared to the game itself.

    Hopefully it won't take too long to for it to be in Proton proper or for Mangohud to have better HDR support.

    As positive as all of that sounds, I've had a lot of annoying input issues when using Wine on Wayland. I can't even get past the main menu in Elden Ring with my PS5 controller or 8bitdo Pro 2. When you have a game like No Man's Sky where all the stars align and everything Just Works™ it's pretty great.

    It's fun watching how far kids will bend their brains out of shape to support anything that goes against their parents. It's going to be even more hilarious when they eventually end up trying to explain to someone how old and bad can be better a better choice than new and good. Because it will happen sooner or later, they just won't realize how much of an idiot it marks their past self as at the time.

    Your ignorance is showing. Wayland does not need to support absolute positioning to be usable by Wine. It is able to emulate that because it doesn't actually matter how surfaces are positioned when Wine can just present its surface and do absolute positioning relative to that surface. This is something they had to work out right from the beginning.

    You can always fall back to the bad design display server if it is required to fully support the bad design window mapping
    Thanks for your permission.

    Meanwhile Adobe Photoshop and other Adobe applications and even something as old as your grandma, WinAmp, both are barely usable under Wine/Wayland because Wayland doesn't allow absolute positioning or applications moving their own windows.
