Even screen sharing is mostly solved now. I do it daily without issue on Fedora with Wayland.
The only thing concession I need to make is running Slack in a browser tab instead of the app, because the app comes with an older version of Electron.
- prmoustache 4y agoYes most electron apps can be replaced by their browser counterparts without loss of any feature and wayland works great on the browsers. I don't even understand why electron exists to be honest, there is no added value.
- NavinF 4y agoThere are a million edge cases that don't work in the browser. System wide hotkeys (Eg push to talk), screen sharing with audio, etc.
- prmoustache 4y agoYou are speaking of millions but I have yet to encounter one. And I would say missing one feature I am unlikely to use is a small price to pay for more control of my privacy, advertising, telemetry, hardware and OS access.
- officeplant 4y agoI've come to enjoy just keeping to apps browser counter parts because they usually work better and can be resized however I want as a window.
- prmoustache 4y agoWhat prevents you to resize your browser window? The fact you make it run within a browser don't mean you can't run it in a separate window. The only good point I can think of is having a separate icon for the app in an alt+tab situation. But in my case I use the activities view on Gnome and usually view and recognize the window content. Also epiphany browser allows me to create "apps" with their own icon. Sadly not all of them work due to user agent nazism.
