Currently, the code base relies on legacy X11 for window management to clipboard handling.

This is a dual issue in that regards. Wayland support for windowing, XDG Desktop Portal support for other former x11 tasks:

Excuse me, I don't get what you suggest. What env do I need to build and test sample with Wayland? (all linux machines I have do build and run samples properly)

CoCkMelon commented 9 months ago

Or maybe rewrite windowing part of the engine to use GLFW?

XCB is the other option if you don't want to use X11 but that is equally as arcane and strange.

Very soon we're going to be at a point where running the Windows version through Proton supports the modern Linux display stack better than the Linux version does.
