Is wayland support even a femto blip on Zoom's radar ?
- WhyNotHugo 7y agoThey do keep saying "multiplatform", but I guess that's Windows/macOS/iOS/Android, not Linux. They're not the only ones though, this is what most companies call "on any device".
- johnchristopher 7y agoWell, my personal experience running the zoom client on Ubuntu was very satisfying. It worked out of the box, just a deb to install. I am on kubuntu 18.04LTS X11 though, not wayland (which I am glad because on 16.04 I was often victim of that stupid copy/pasting bug freezing firefox or the whole gnome env.)
- thanatropism 7y agoZoom works without a hitch on Ubuntu here. Even plays nicely with the tiling WM with multiple workspaces (somehow, a thumbnail window follows you through as you flip through workspaces).
- WhyNotHugo 7y agoNot even close to working properly on swaywm. Maybe you tiling WM does something special for Zoom? Screen sharing only works on Xorg, and screen scaling doesn't work (so it's super blurry on hidpi). I've never seen that thumbnail window either -- though I don complain on that item, I prefer not having something like that.
- Saaster 7y agoZoom works great on Linux, it's a proper native app and the quality is excellent. Screensharing is notoriously tricky on Wayland and has been a shifting target that is just now starting to settle, I'm sure it'll eventually work.
- chupasaurus 7y ago> Zoom works great on Linux And depends on iBus which breaks keyboard input for me.
- degurechaff 7y agothe problem is wayland. not linux with X11.
