Lots of games won't ever be converted to Wayland (maybe some unofficially by replacing libraries with updated ones that still work with the game), we'll need some nested X server like xwayland in rootful mode once wayland compositors remove their xwm.
- wmf 3y agoJust run games under a native Wayland version of WINE.
- Fornax96 3y agoOnce again WINE is the stable Linux ABI
- a_vanderbilt 3y agoAbsolutely hilarious that we have reached a point where the most stable API for Linux apps is win32.
- okanat 3y agoReached? Win32 has been the most stable userspace ABI for Linux for more than a decade (or even 2?). Wine is a really old project and Win32 API / ABI has always been stable. The implementation of the API / ABI was very patchy earlier but the functions that defines the ABI has always been there, their signature and calling conventions are stable.
- vetinari 3y agoMost games use SDL2, and it is possible to replace it with a version that supports Wayland, even if SDL2 itself is statically linked with the game.
