Any news on wine on Wayland? I haven't heard anything in a while; is it still being worked on?
I'm using it daily since Wine 9.5, it works without issues (I mostly play Elden Ring)
How did you get it to work within proton? Last time I looked, the Wayland patch wasn't yet included in proton. I'd love to use it for my games too.
I don't use proton, I use system wine instead. There are also wine builds by Glorious Eggroll with applied proton patches if you need them.
It doesn't help much though, performance is exactly the same as Xwayland
How do you do this? Are you playing with steam? Is there a reason to use wine over proton?
I don't use steam, I buy games on GOG. Just install it via Lutris and pick system wine in runner options. And do the regedit trick with the graphics driver: link
Ah, that makes sense. Too bad. I have all my games on steam and haven't yet found a way to play them with the patch. I could, of course, compile proton with the patch myself, but somehow I am too stupid for that.
