Native wayland support? #207

Open repomansez opened 2 weeks ago

repomansez commented 2 weeks ago

Is native wayland support ever going to be implemented? Considering the major DEs are abandoning X altogether and most people are already using wayland, I think it is a nice step to provide native support and quit depending on XWayland, which can be buggy and may also be disabled in some people's setups.

X11 and XWayland have been a lot less buggy and more reliable than native Wayland for me, but I understand other people's experiences may differ. Updating the hiro GUI library to stop using X11 stuff seems like it would be a lot of work. I suspect the ares project is going to try sooner or later; if they succeed, higan and bsnes may try to backport it.

@Screwtapello for me it's the exact opposite actually, native Wayland is way more reliable and performs way better than XWayland, in fact the reason I created this issue is because higan refused to open under XWayland until I went after some troubleshooting lol
