Solved Wayland Support
-
Using Ozone + wayland works somewhat but there are lots of issues, including chromium titlebar that's impossible to hide, and broken context menus. I'd use it via Xwayland if I could but fractional scaling makes all Xwayland apps blurry as hell (at least on sway) and there doesn't seem to be a way to disable scaling just for Xwayland apps. On X I used to just increasing the font size without any scaling but that doesn't work on Wayland. Oh well

@guigirl In the meantime Ubuntu will switch to Wayland in its upcoming release. But yeah, I would never use Nvidia on Linux, no matter the display protocol.
-
More recently (last two-three snapshots), I noticed very weird behaviour (tabs barely loading any more and the interface responding super slow, as if the windows were using exclusive resources or something) when using more than one window.
vivaldi-snapshot --enable-features=UseOzonePlatform --ozone-platform=wayland --use-cmd-decoder=validating --use-gl=eglanyone here made similar experiences?
-
@jumpsq I don’t seem to have that issue.
-
@guigirl But don’t you want native window? I thought you used it. Or do you call native window that weird bluish thing created by Chromium?
- that black-purple bar is native window
- that bluish bar is not native window

In the Plasma Wayland session, various Chromium-based web browsers now show their windows properly (Vlad Zahorodnii, Plasma 5.24)
The bug's details.

Hum ... also the latest version of
wlrootsandswayseem to be broken.
It has been fixed in chromium on 5 January already, so I hope that this requires nothing more than just another chromium update, although I'm not certain.Reported as
VB-86221, just in case. Either don't update for now or usexwaylandinstead.arch linux. swaywm. vivaldi-snapshot. m3.
-
@jumpsq or give up trying to use chromium & wayland together
. (though it’s true that this particular bug was quite common, by far not chromium-only, but most other programs have already had bugfix releases.) -
@jumpsq I don’t think Vivaldi has worked on Wayland support at all. So Wayland support would be a feature request and your current way to run natively on Wayland is 100% Chromium and could stop working or disappear in any future update.

I'm confident this news will be tremendously exciting to all Vivaldifarians here
, & so, fyi...Firefox Nightly is now fully Wayland-compliant even with its standard launcher, ie, no longer needs the modified launcher command. I can verify that it works just peachy now natively as a full-W app [not Xwayland] in KDE Wayland.
Yep, i just knew you'd all be thrilled.

@jumpsq said in Wayland Support:
Hum ... also the latest version of wlroots and sway seem to be broken.Whoa! Nice
I will test tomorrow. -
@jumpsq Fantastic! I was just visiting the forum for this news
Guess I just have to wait for the next update. -
In KDE Plasma 5.23.5 atm... mouse scroll control.
X11 sessions:
Spoiler
Wayland sessions:
Spoiler
This [latter] enhanced scroll control nicely solves the problem noticed & posted by @Pathduck several months ago. Now, finally, in Vivaldi [launched as
vivaldi-snapshot --enable-features=UseOzonePlatform --ozone-platform=wayland] manually scrolling pages by rolling the wheel by finger becomes efficient. Otoh, in X11 sessions it remains markedly inferior to Firefox. -
Just to add to this thread, latest snapshot works on wayland with labwc
CSD seems a problem (can't override SSD) but certainly not a show stopper. I might create an issue at the labwc github repo about that.
