From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I had it on a test system and Chrome/Chromium wasn't happy. Slow af. Dunno if it had an impact on Firefox, but that used a lot of RAM and was very slow when sharing the screen.
At least Waydroid worked flawlessly 👍
For now, I'm back on X11 where I game. I'll just wait for it come by default on major distros ("stable"), wait a little longer (stable for real) and then switch once nothing on my system needs "XWayland" or whatever.
winedoes AFAIK, so at least due to that, no Wayland for me.CC BY-NC-SA 4.0
Chromium and Firefox work perfectly on Wayland. Minor issues like de-coupling tabs or something are made a bit differently, but thats cosmetic.
Great that it works perfectly for you 👍 For me, it doesn't.

Yeah thats not usual behavior and your system is likely broken
Ah, the good old "works on my machine" 👍 Nothing but a good expression of disregard of other people's problems.
Principal Skinner: Is there a problem with Wayland and Chrome/Chromium/Firefox for some people? Nah, their system is broken

If you give me more details maybe I can say something else :D
At least on Fedora, official tarball (
firefoxandfirefox-bin), Fedora Firefox, Librewolf RPM, Librewolf Flatpak, Firefox Flatpak, torbrowser flatpak, Thunderbird flatpak, selfbuilt Firefox nightly, Chromium RPM, Chromium Flatpak and Brave RPM all work flawlessly when it comes to Wayland.
