Linux wayland

[GarboMuffin]

Electron has some level of Wayland support now, so let's make sure that all the environments we package the app in can run in wayland. My understanding is it still uses XWayland by default but there are flags to force wayland -- let's make sure those work.

Latest electron-builder added an option to allow wayland in snap package

Also see if we can make Wayland work in the flatpak package

That option is used to enable wayland support on Linux, but it makes it crash.

>>> turbowarp-desktop --ozone-platform-hint=auto

(Wayland is needed for touchscreen and HiDPI support)

What distro are you using? If it's Arch, we use the system's electron20 package which is quite a bit behind upstream now.

[aspizu]

My distro is Fedora Linux 37 (KDE Plasma) and I've used the tarball package to install TurboWarp manually.

Same problem here, using the

--enable-features=UseOzonePlatform,WaylandWindowDecorations --ozone-platform-hint=auto

args makes the app not start

[GarboMuffin]

I've hunted it down, it's a weird Electron bug. Gonna work around it and get a nice report sent upstream

[GarboMuffin]

Wayland will work in 1.11.0-beta.6 or 1.11.0 stable, whichever is first

[aspizu]

Thank you so much.

Nice !
