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.

For What application you face issue? I’m curious as XWayland should provide backward compatibility.

Electron applications are notorious and prolific, and resolutions are very specific to versions and details of the program's build process.

Steam can be a big old flashy boi

Isn't there some way to force Electron to use Wayland?

[–] brisk@aussie.zone 2 points 9 months ago

There are multiple ways depending on the version of electron the app was built against
