Sadly, they are not.
KiCad kicked this press release out because RedHat broke mutter which broke XWayland which caused a whole bunch of us to file bugs against KiCad (and other applications) that were the fault of Wayland.
This caused a whole bunch of application developers to have to waste a bunch of time running down a bug that made it completely obvious that RedHat does ZERO testing of whether their changes break anything in the XWayland space.
- dvdkon 1y agoThat's not the fault of Wayland, it's a GNOME problem. Wayland being just a protocol has the annoying effect that you get DE-specific bugs. It also means that after switching DEs, you might escape some GNOME-specific bugs. I've been happily using KiCad under XWayland on Sway, I've had no complaints from relatives about the stability of KDE under Wayland, and I hear Hyprland is nice too.
- bsder 1y ago> That's not the fault of Wayland, it's a GNOME problem. You know what ... you're right. Since I'm on an atomic desktop, I shouldn't keep putting up with the abuse. Thanks. I rebased from Silverblue to Kinoite. We'll see how that goes over time.
- bsder 1y agoUpdate since can't edit: Nope. Sadly. Instant dialog box focus problems from kwin_wayland. I switched to kwin_x11 (which KDE doesn't want you to use) and the problems all go away.
