Not that hard to stop wayland or xorg at the launch of a given application and restart it at that application's exit. Of course, I only did it on the Raspberry Pi because the hardware lagged horribly running such apps with a gui/compositer/desktop the app wasn't using in the background, but it wasn't hard for me to get working, and its exactly how we did things with DOS apps and even some Windows games back in the WFWG 3.11 days.

Basically, there's no technical reason the host operating system should have to be providing say X, KDE, Plasma, Gnome, Gk, Wayland, whatever, to a flatpack app that needs those things. Yes, the result is a larger flatpack, but that's why flatpack's do dependency consolidation.

Unless ... Unless, you just really want to to run your games windowed with smooth window-resizing, minimization, maximization, etc.

The point of flatpack is supposed to be that it takes care of ALL dependencies. So you're saying it doesn't deliver on that promise?

It took me years of yelling at my Mother-In-Law, who I don't even like in the slightest, to get her to wear a seatbelt, but my kids still have their grandmother and learned not to argue against wearing one themselves.

Through the warped lense of what modern security theater has sold their leaders on? Sure, why not?

Step one to being a Bounty Hunter: have no warrants or serious criminal charges/convictions of your own.

Step two: Avoid crossing jurisdictions at all costs.

Step three: survive a free person yourself long enough to realize that being a repo-man is far safer or at least less likely to get you extradited for all those times you broke rule two. Maybe you'll even survive this long enough to graduate to Security Guard, Body Guard or an even more legitimate profession like literally anything else.

Side note: most of these people would still make better cops than most cops. The Dead in "Dead or Alive" is almost never profitable any more.

Individual apps, particularly full-screen games, shouldn't need "Wayland support"(quotes because what that means will vary between implimentations).

Now, if you have to install xorg on a system that doesn't have it in order to play a game? Yeah that would suck, although games are on my personal shortlist of application categories that should always be run from a flat-pack/equivalent and/or containerized wherever possible.

Now I think about it, why don't (anti-cheat)games just run their own VM's and "calibrate" those versus any weird system variables? Seems like a better anti-cheat than hacking-my-kernel-to-make-sure-I'm-not-hacking-the-game...

Preferably not in the same cup, but I could get used to that if I had to.

I prefer both, with breakfast.

Wow, what morons. Never let them get you for criminal tresspass. Even your average Karen should have the sense to leave once the cops are about to be called.

Flatpack it. Done.
