Wayland Display Protocol

[al_rck]

In modern linux distros gnome desktop editions are used such as ubuntu fedora manjaro ,people are switching from xfce to gnome as xfce uses x11 protocol which is a legacy code and buggy. While newer gnome desktops are completely switched to Wayland which is less buggy and modern protocol compared to x11.
While running games 3d apps this protocol affect the performance so the linux part of wine should be built on modern Wayland display protocol which will be easy for devs also. Hope replies, better suggestions.

The Wine developers are currently working on the winewayland driver. So Wayland support is coming.
You can follow the development on gitlab:

Thx dev ,really nice to see it I have come to this thread after hearing news about wine 8.9.
Also Iam currently switched to kde plasma from gnome which also uses Wayland. Plasma is the best desktop I ever used good for developers. Fedora with kde plasma is best for development.
We always support you. ALSO open source graphic driver mesa driver 23.1.1 is released hope it will be helpful to devs.

A new part of the winewayland driver has been added to Wine 8.9. Don't get too excited yet, the driver is not yet ready for use. However, if you like, you can compile an experimental version of Wine with the wayland driver by yourself.
