A year and a half ago, shortly after the GNOME 45 release, I opened a pair of Pull Requests to deprecate and remove the X11 Session. A lot has happened since. The GNOME 48 release addressed all the remaining blocking issues, mainly accessibility regressions, but it was too late in the development cycle to drop...
Does it actually play better native than under proton/wine? Should be a dumb question but a lot of the games I’ve tried that are “native” work far better when I force them to use proton than let them be native.
It works better on Native wth?? i used to have issues with that(on kde) but thank you for telling me to try native
but i remember i heard Native is worse due to the oudated OpenGL/Vulkan version and its wayy buggier
BTW wine vanilla and some custom proton builds are adding direct wayland support, just so you know. It’s still experimental but works great for some games, just in case you have others tying you to X.

if its a Native SDL game you can force it on Wayland aswell with a launch argument " SDL_VIDEODRIVEVER=wayland" works with Source Games and BeamNG from my testing
to run legacy x11 apps that dont work under xwayland??
but ik i can use a lightweight wayland compositor like labwc
I was more wondering like what apps, since I’ve not had trouble myself.
Hadn’t heard of labwc, will have to check it out if I run into issues, thanks.
Yw and the only app(Ik a game but whatever) i have issues with is BeamNG (Native and proton with Vulkan renderer)

Glad that’s working out for you. :)

Ohh! Nice to know! Might try that with War Thunder tomorrow. No clue if that’s SDL or not.
