2023 was a great year for the Wayland driver for Wine, but our work is not yet done.

    How do you make wine run without Xwayland? Just wondering if you could point me to some resource

      It’s in the release notes, you add a Wayland driver to your prefix via registry entry and then unset DISPLAY before starting wine.

      https://gitlab.winehq.org/wine/wine/-/releases/wine-9.0

      The Wayland driver is not yet enabled by default. It can be enabled through the HKCU\Software\Wine\Drivers registry key by running:

      wine reg.exe add HKCU\Software\Wine\Drivers /v Graphics /d x11,wayland

      and then making sure that the DISPLAY environment variable is unset.

      Note that the registry entry is per prefix.
