(Well written) Electron apps have fully supported Wayland for a while now, without any issue. I've been using VSCode on Wayland (native) without a hitch for more than a year. Discord is more problematic due to them being a bunch of donkeys, but there are workaround for the motivated tweaker (like using another version of Electron).
- vladvasiliu 3y agoI didn't look too much into it since X11 worked fine for my needs, but my understanding was that some applications used too ancient versions of Chrome. One which I remember specifically was teams.
- qalmakka 3y agoTeams on Linux is essentially abandonware. Just stick to the PWA with a Chromium-based browser and you'll notice it works a billion times better than however the "app" has ever done before
- vladvasiliu 3y agoSure, that's what I use nowadays. But, I actually find it works worse. The only improvement is that I can now authenticate with my YubiKey, which the older version didn't support. But otherwise? It's terrible. Notifications are hit-and-miss, especially since chromium by default seems to "suspend" the page. When the notifications do work, there's no "urgent" tag on the window, so if I've missed the notification popup, I don't know someone's waiting for me. They've "improved" the layout during calls, so that when someone shares their screen, there are always a bunch of useless icons around it instead of going full-screen. And the old version used to draw a red rectangle around what was being shared. Now I get a tooltip at the bottom of the screen, which sits half below my screen edge and the other half is partially obscured by the launcher. Plus, its "hide" button doesn't do anything.
