Wayland didn’t kill Linux desktops, but it did expose their weakest assumptions [EDIT: Warning, article likely written with AI assistance] (www.xda-developers.com)

It's fine. There's still some quirks with Wayland I don't like. Either having to be in a game or have Discord focused in order for push to talk to work for example. Some mouse constraint issues with certain games that for whatever reason KDE has been able to figure out but every other wayland compositor hasn't.

    Sorry I have never looked into the specifics, but I read some way for flatpaks to listen for specific keybinds even in the background, it's mostly a permissions thing IIRC.

    Sorry I'm assuming bazzite Fedora as well.

    tried it on arch, nixos, fedora both native pkgs and flatpaks. no dice. push to talk only works when either in a game or when discord is focused. all via various wayland des/wms be it KDE, Niri, Sway, Hyprland, etc

    Just in case it helps:

    My Discord keybinds were having a struggle when I used 3rd party apps like armcord and vesktop. The actual Discord bin program is doing global keybinds correctly for my toggle mute microphone on my keyboard.

    I use the Discord Nix pkg, not armcord or vesktop. I've always had this issue be it on arch, nixos, or fedora. I'm starting to lean towards "user error" as I just must not have something set up right. but yeah I've never used armcord, vencord, or vesktop.
