> Previously ChromeOS was using a homemade graphics stack called "Freon," but now with Wayland, it'll be on the new and normal desktop Linux graphic stack. More interesting than I thought it would be. Hopefully this means better upstream GPU support for the plethora of ARM tablets/laptops that run ChromeOS.

This is good because Chrome on Wayland has been an adventure and not in a good way. This will certainly mean that Wayland will become a first class citizen and be less prone to random breakage.

  Aside from some flags needed for screen sharing, what problems have you faced? I've found chrome to run significantly better on Wayland than X11- the last time I tried chrome in X, the screen tearing during scrolling was almost nauseating. I'll admit, though, that it might be OS dependent. For some reason, chrome+Wayland+debian was more trouble to get screen sharing working right than on arch. Maybe I've mostly gotten lucky?

  I remember bugs last year, certainly, but Chrome on Wayland on Fedora Workstation 38 has been working perfectly for 36 days here.
