Ditto, Wayland user for... at least four years now; on Sway, even. Happy to help where I can - I'm very comfortably settled into this new world. There's a lot of assumption around Wayland handling based on the value of "$DESKTOP_SESSION". This is relevant for xdg portals that make screensharing and the like possible. In the end it's mainly Electron/Chromium things that may need some launch arguments to truly do Wayland. Anything GTK/Qt has been inherent.

How about sharing contents of specific windows for webrtc (or OBS)?
- bravetraveler 3y ago
  I'm a bit naive on things like WebRTC unfortunately. I can share displays... but specific applications, I'm not sure - I don't believe so. This is with WebEx which I think uses WebRTC; it got funny when I disabled too much fingerprinting [in my browser]. I've managed without specific-app-sharing by using workspaces OBS worked okay the last I toyed with it, IIRC using Pipewire for the capturing.

  Can you be more specific - what did you try doing specifically? OBS works fine from what I've heard but must admit I don't use it myself.

    I'm using sway (wlroots + xdg-desktop-portal-wlr). Sharing the whole screen works. I have tried using chrome (stable and unstable) and OBS. OBS uses pipewire to capture (which I believe in turn talks wayland xdg-desktop-portal). I think chromium works the same way (I have the chrome flag "enable-webrtc-pipewire-capturer" turned on). There doesn't seem to be a way to share a single specific window. There is so much half-cocked or old information out there it is hard to find the right place to look. At the end of the day I'm not sure if xdg-desktop-portal, wlroots, or pipewire need to be improved.

  OBS snap package has everything working out of the box on Fedora/Mate with Wayland and Compiz

    Does that use gnome for the wayland compositor? Not sure what you mean by compiz in this context -- I thought that was an X11 window manager. I see wayfire is a "spiritual successor" of compiz based on wlroots. I am using sway + wlroots + xdg-desktop-portal-wlr on my system.
