Support Wayland with fallback to X11 #526

Open FiniteReality opened 1 year ago

FiniteReality commented 1 year ago

What is the current behaviour? Native wayland support is broken due to a bug in GLFW (see #525)

What is the expected behaviour/change? Wayland should be preferred if available, falling back to X11 if not supported.

What is the motivation / use case for changing the behavior? Wayland compositors typically has better support for scaling and lower overhead compared to X11

Describe alternatives you've considered: Most Wayland systems already have an X11 fallback via XWayland, so technically we don't need to do anything.

Are there any potential roadblocks or challenges facing this change? See #525

Are there any downsides to implementing this change? No.

Additional context Wayland is the future, or something.

Will be approved once GLFW 3.3.9 is in stable release and we can update our dependency for it.
