    It turns out Google has been sponsoring some of this work for the Wine Wayland driver.

    Some people are against it, but I always love seeing companies being the sponsors of upstream projects (who knew Valve was secretly sponsoring KDE devs for so long?)

    From the video,

    “One thing that I think is clear at this point, is that the […] traditional Wine to X11 server is becoming less and less relevant as time goes by, and I don’t think it’s going to be an important consideration in the long term.”

    I’m sure it’ll still work for the next 20 years, but RIP DEs and other Unix OSes that don’t move to Wayland by then. Wine was originally made to target X11, so the fact its willing to shift its base ideology so much shows that it’s still a nimble project.

    This would be great, because currently wine is broken in Wayland for me (Nvidia use here)

        It works great, except when it’s slow or shows random horizontal lines inside full screen apps

          Huh, maybe I should give it another try then. A couple of months ago, I was getting nasty graphical glitches pretty frequently under Wayland. I’ve heard the upcoming 545 driver fixes a bunch of Wayland compatibility stuff, too, so maybe it’s time to try it again.

            it was literally perfect on AMD with no hassle, I just installed OBS and recorded the screen

            trying to replicate the ease of use on Nvidia is a huge project, I’d have to either mess with OBS on X11 or wait until a new driver fixes my graphical glitches
