      I really wish Proton would start jumping on, at least in the experimental builds.

      Currently they lack Wayland support altogether.

        So do I, but I understand why they’re holding off.

        The entire Steam Deck user experience is directly correlated to Proton’s stability and reliability, so they’re probably waiting for almost-complete Wayland support. I’d be pretty pissed if I bought a console and my games didn’t launch OOB, even if I know how that console works under-the-hood.

        Imagine how someone who doesn’t know Linux would feel.

          On the other hand, in game mode the Steam Deck is using Wayland rather than X11, so I think Valve would have an interest in better Wayland support. You’d need a reason end users care about (a missing feature like HDR support, or a performance difference, etc.) but there’s probably something to he said for it.

          Currently, XWayland works fine. The great compatibility may just be the biggest reason why programs have mostly idealistic reasons to include direct Wayland support. At the moment there are no real scenarios where XWayland isn’t at least an option for third party software.

          At least on the Steam Deck I couldn’t get an image out of it in gaming mode. But it worked with the windows version through Wine, which probably was actually still running XWayland.

            Can’t you force the Linux version to use xwayland?

            XDG_SESSION_TYPE=x11

            If you’re using a Flatpak, in theory, you can use Flatseal to deny the Wayland socket and allow the X11 socket instead.
