The point is that Electron-the-platform is playing a similar role to GTK or Qt: it talks to Wayland, and the application talks to it. Therefore the application is not interfacing directly with Wayland, and claiming that it is would be singling out Electron from the category of UI toolkits.
But it depends on your definition of “application”.
- OJFord 3y agoYeah, I'm not sure how now, but I think I misread/misunderstood the comment I defended. Can't now read it any other way but as a claim that they typically don't use Electron for it and instead talk to X/Wayland directly. (I have no idea, but would have assumed Electron handled it sufficiently for the vast majority.)
