Huge shootout to the Distrobox devs, you saved my day :)

I brew beer as a hobby. I’ve been using Joliebulle 3 for close to 10 years because it’s FOSS and super simple to use, and I’m too lazy to switch to another brewing app. It’s been unmaintained for almost 5 years, but it wonderfully does exactly what I want from a brewing software. I was missing this crucial “piece of equipment” since I migrated to Fedora.

Brew day is tomorrow. I forgot to look into it until it was almost too late.

    VSCode is an electron application, right? Electron apps use xwindow (or xwayland) unless you launched them with certain flags. I’m interested to know if native Wayland app actually works. Or is it possible that distrobox is actually use xwindow and pass everything to the host’s xwayland process? Can’t seem to find anything about it in the docs.

      Yes, VSCode is an electron app, and I use flags to launch it with Wayland. I export VSCode to the host system with the flags attached, so that VSCode automatically launches in Wayland. The command I used: distrobox-export --app code --extra-flags "--enable-features=WaylandWindowDecorations --ozone-platform-hint=auto"

        Interesting. I’ll have to try this when I got the time. Thanks!

      I’m pretty sure it’s wayland because on KDE wayland, with 200% scaling, when the cursor is over an xwayland window, it looks blurry. This doesn’t happen on wayland windows. Also for some reason electron and chromium based apps run at 60 fps on wayland, while xwayland apps run at 144 fps as it should, and my VS Code in the Distrobox with the wayland flags also runs at 60 fps. Weird KDE stuff.
