KISSmyOSFedditWayland usage has overtaken X11
Spectacle8011Here’s a smaller sample size (2417 people at the time of writing) but all you need to do is fill in your details on the website: www.gamingonlinux.com/users/statistics/
X is at 66% and Wayland is at 33% for GamingOnLinux.
Wayland has a mouse capture bug in proton / wine. It particularly seems to be an issue in FPS games. That may contributing to slower adoption for Linux gamers.
Speaking of Valve, they probably have numbers for Wayland vs X too, unfortunately they don’t seem to publish this statistic in their survey.
BjörnValve is difficult. On the one hand they have their own Wayland compositor with gamescope. Which works by launching an explicitly configured XWayland session for the game.
And on the other hand there’s Steam, which is still an X application.
And on top of that are stupid Steam Input bugs that only happen when you try to launch a game with gamescope.
On the Steam Deck in gaming mode Gamescope is the main compositor which launches two XWayland sessions. I guess one for Steam and one for the game.
It’s bizarre.
Works fine here, on mutter with mesa. Looks mostly like a KDE bug.
EuroNutellaManI don’t have that bug (KDE 6)
