This is a solved problem, but you are correct that a lot of applications don't support it yet. The solution is Pipewire. OBS works fine, Firefox and Chrome can share windows fine, but there's a lot of software out there that won't be updated overnight.
- viraptor 4y agoIt's a "there's a solution planned / being worked on". It's not solved until it works for people out of the box for pretty much anything they want to use. Paraphrasing Charity, "approved protocols don't matter if the users aren't happy".
- kelnos 4y ago"Overnight"? It's been a decade. Maybe not a decade since these screen-sharing APIs were developed, but that's a part of the problem too, no? Wayland was designed from the start completely neglecting normal every-day use cases.
- Meai 4y agoWith wayland I now can't drag&drop to extract files from archives onto the file manager. Issue open literally for 3 years now: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/file-roller/-/issues/4 https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/file-roller/-/issues/4 I don't expect this to be fixed for another 5-10 years. I used to drag to extract files almost every single day, it's a core use for me. Simply broken now. I get nothing from Wayland, it was a net downside for me.
- duskwuff 4y agoFrom what I'm reading in that bug report, the problem is that file-roller (a GNOME archiving utility) has a hokey homebrewed implementation of drag-and-drop which no longer works under Wayland. This looks like file-roller's fault, not Wayland's -- other GNOME applications have no problems with DnD.
