    ooc are you unable to get Wayland working properly on your system? Assuming you have some need for discord, does vesktop work for you?

      vesktop works without a problem, with better quality on everything.
      Wayland is one of the worst times i ever had trying to get running at all.
      And i tried getting anno 1404 history edition to run.

        Sorry for kind of getting OT but can you give some background on your hardware and distro?

        Have been using Wayland for several years now with no real issues, though there were definite UX shortcomings in the earlier days due to lacking implementations for scenarios like display caputre / screen sharing and so on.

          endeavouros (tho the distro never made a different, i tried it like 3 different times) nvidia, hardware has no customization besides what some people said is funky ram (two different speeds, but taking one out made my experience worse)

          I dont see why it should but just wayland that is getting support for something linux discord should have had for years now

            I was under the impression discord streaming already worked on x11 on Linux? I could be mistaken, and perhaps this doesn’t include things like content isolation due to technical limitations?

              only the visual component ever worked, this wayland stuff is the first time audio works outside of things like mods of vesktop

                I’m not well versed on the matter but are we sure it’s not more of a technical limitation of X11 in relation to electron or something like that?

                Do apps like element call or Jitsi Meet support audio with screen sharing on x11?

            If your Nvidia card is recent-ish, it should work fine under Wayland. I didn’t have any luck w/ my GTX 960 and ended up switching to an AMD GPU, but it’s probably worth another try if you haven’t tried recently.

            Wayland w/ my RX 6650 XT is absolutely fantastic. I initially use GNOME because KDE’s Wayland support was messed up (for me, others claimed it worked), but ever since Plasma 6, it seems to be fixed, and I’ve been on KDE since Plasma 6 released on my distro (openSUSE Tumbleweed).

            So yeah, I recommend giving it a shot. Try either GNOME or KDE, since they probably have the best Wayland implementations right now.

                AFAIK, Wayland is still WIP on Cinnamon. But you could try out one of those to see if Wayland solves your problem, and if it does, you could try out betas or something of Cinnamon to help it move along.
