What's stopping you from using wayland, out of interest?

    I was more wondering like what apps, since I've not had trouble myself.

    Hadn't heard of labwc, will have to check it out if I run into issues, thanks.

    Does it actually play better native than under proton/wine? Should be a dumb question but a lot of the games I've tried that are "native" work far better when I force them to use proton than let them be native.

    It works better on Native wth?? i used to have issues with that(on kde) but thank you for telling me to try native
    but i remember i heard Native is worse due to the oudated OpenGL/Vulkan version and its wayy buggier

    Glad that's working out for you. :)

    BTW wine vanilla and some custom proton builds are adding direct wayland support, just so you know. It's still experimental but works great for some games, just in case you have others tying you to X.

    if its a Native SDL game you can force it on Wayland aswell with a launch argument " SDL_VIDEODRIVEVER=wayland" works with Source Games and BeamNG from my testing
    edit: i couldnt get it work properly with Beamng cause it doesnt follow the setting

    I sometimes install some windows programs in lutris. With some apps, the setup.exe wizard shows as a black window. Switching to xorg allows me to run the full setup without issues.

    I also remember having issues with Nvidia/gnome and Wayland, but I haven't tried in a while and the Nvidia driver got updated a few times in the mean time.

    Huh, interesting. I have seen the black window thing before but only with electron apps, and those can be told to use in-proc GPU to get around that issue. I assume that's not the issue you had.
