Linux Wayland support #2595

Open officiallymarky opened 1 year ago

officiallymarky commented 1 year ago

I am using the App Image for Linux but it runs in xwayland mode (Wayland compatibility) which runs really poorly.

Most Linux apps using electron can forced into Wayland mode eliminating the graphic and performance glitches but I can’t find anyway to force BS to use Wayland.

Linux distributions are moving away from X11 and only supporting Wayland going forward (Fedora just recently proposed this).

yeah, we need direct support wayland, please add it, thanks~

This would at least need:

removing the GDK_BACKEND setting in src/BambuStudio.cpp
making sure to enable Wayland support in GLFW, glew and wxWidgets

This is especially necessary on low-power computing platforms such as the Raspberry Pi, which now use Wayland. Any 3D panning that is rendered through xWayland can be expected to have a low frame rate and keep the CPU occupied at 100% utilization.

I'm interested in adding BS to our ARM app store, alongside Cura, PrusaSlicer, and other slicers. But it needs to be usable. Maybe it is usable on xwayland, but it would be a lot more usable if wayland could be enabled.
