I’ve been on Wayland for the past two years exclusively (Nvidia).

I thought it was okay for the most part but then I had to switch to an X session recently. The experience felt about the same. Out of curiosity, I played a couple of games and realized they worked much better. Steam doesn’t go nuts either.

Made me think maybe people aren’t actually adopting it that aggressively despite the constant coverage in the community. And that maybe I should just go back.

    May I ask how you solved the screen sharing problems? Also do you use keybinds for apps such as discord? When I tried Hyprland none of them were working.

      Hey, sorry for the late reply.

      I remember installing xdg-desktop-portal-hyprland instead of xdg-desktop-portal, and in my hyprland config I have:

      exec-once = dbus-update-activation-environment --systemd WAYLAND_DISPLAY XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP
      exec-once = systemctl --user import-environment WAYLAND_DISPLAY XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP
      

      I can’t remember everything I tried… I didn’t keep track. I’ve been using this setup for close to 3 years now…

      I know that for Ferdium I used the extra params --ozone-platform=wayland --enable-features=UseOzonePlatform, but I think it doesn’t need them anymore (I use it for Teams and other chat apps with screensharing).

      For Discord I use Webcord, which works just fine, also with screen sharing, I didn’t have to do anything.

      When it comes to key bindings, here’s my working setup:

      # binds
      $mainMod  = SUPER
      $lock     = playerctl --player=mpd,firefox,mpv -a pause ; ~/.config/hypr/scripts/swaylock
      
      bind = $mainMod,       Q, killactive,
      bind = $mainMod SHIFT, Q, exit,
      bind = $mainMod,       X, exec, $lock # lock
      
      bind = $mainMod,       RETURN, exec, alacritty
      bind = $mainMod SHIFT, RETURN, exec, alacritty -t scratchpad --class scratchpad
      bind = $mainMod,       E,      exec, nemo
      bind = $mainMod,       W,      exec, firefox
      bind = $mainMod,       R,      exec, rofi -show drun --allow-images
      bind = $mainMod SHIFT, E,      exec, wofi-emoji
