Curious from people who follow its development closely.
- What protocol are about to be finally implemented?
- Which ones are still a struggle?
- How many serious protocols are there missing?
I want to switch to get high refresh rates on my multi monitor setup. I tried recently again but I can’t for the life of me get screen sharing working, which I need for work.
Edit: With some help here and a Slack update released yesterday to fix the problem, it’s working in both Zoom and Slack!
What were you trying to screen share with?
Most of the apps people are using are Electron, which has supported Wayland and the pipewire screensharing for nearly 4 years. However since Chrome/Chromium doesn’t enable Wayland by default, Electron won’t. Which also means that no one tests it in their apps.
I’ve had such success just ignoring the apps and using the web client since that’s up to date and doesn’t require the app builders to enable features.
At least under Fedora.
You can also force apps to use Wayland via environment variables.
ELECTRON_OZONE_PLATFORM_HINT=wayland app
Alternatively you can use
app --ozone-platform-hint=wayland
Can you give some details about this? I can’t find anything online about it.
However since no one tests it I’ve found them to be really buggy. Hence why I suggested just using the web app.
You need xdg-desktop-portal, the desktop portal of your DE and a modern Browser.
