BLOCKED/PENDING:

  • Waiting for KDE Window Decorator support (expected in Avalonia UI 12.2.0+)
  • Fullscreen breaks layout until context changes

Simple/light Wayland support for Linux. There's a few ways to handle this, but I grabbed what's been working for ShadowONE.

Until Avalonia 12.2.0 (or later) comes out, window icons will be missing:

Note the top left icon will be a "W" when running with Wayland.
image

Currently, Wayland renders through EGL (with an optional dmabuf path). It supports all core functionalities you would expect: mouse, touch, keyboard, clipboard, drag-and-drop... However, a few KDE-specific niceties (global app menu, window icons, blur-behind) are planned as follow-ups.
https://avaloniaui.net/blog/release-12-1

If the Window icon is a dealbreaker, I would suggest to wait until the next Avalonia 12 update.

I will note that scaling behavior seems the same regardless of X11/Wayland - so there's not much of an advantage to have this in now other than to be ahead of the curve.

Does this fix any other issues like scaling?

Also can you check if wayland works on flatpak? I believe permissions needed to be changed to allow it.

I'll double check the flatpak + permissions as I don't think I tried CI build.

#124 (comment)
Nope, noted that above. I don't see any change. Probably implemented intentionally so scaling is uniform

Flatpak working properly now. Tested codes and file replacement mods worked just to be sure as well.

I'll test the flatpak on a Linux Mint VM (Cinnamon is still X11 in latest stable) just to make sure the fallback is working properly for X11.

Marking as draft for now until next Avalonia release (I'm interested for my other apps, so I'll come reopen this when I see its ready).

As for full screen, it breaks after toggling until you change pages:

I'll look into that once the new Avalonia.Wayland posts.

#124 (comment)

Nope, noted that above. I don't see any change. Probably implemented intentionally so scaling is uniform

Yep, you're right. Flatpak breaks, marking draft until I resolve.

Flatpak working properly now. Tested codes and file replacement mods worked just to be sure as well.

I'll test the flatpak on a Linux Mint VM (Cinnamon is still X11 in latest stable) just to make sure the fallback is working properly for X11.

Does full screen work on wayland? Other than that I think we should wait until the window icon is fixed then merge.

Marking as draft for now until next Avalonia release (I'm interested for my other apps, so I'll come reopen this when I see its ready).
As for full screen, it breaks after toggling until you change pages:

I'll look into that once the new Avalonia.Wayland posts.

BLOCKED/PENDING:
  •  Waiting for KDE Window Decorator support (expected in Avalonia UI 12.2.0+)
  •  Fullscreen breaks layout until context changes
Simple/light Wayland support for Linux. There's a few ways to handle this, but I grabbed what's been working for ShadowONE.
Until Avalonia 12.2.0 (or later) comes out, window icons will be missing:
Note the top left icon will be a "W" when running with Wayland.
image
Currently, Wayland renders through EGL (with an optional dmabuf path). It supports all core functionalities you would expect: mouse, touch, keyboard, clipboard, drag-and-drop... However, a few KDE-specific niceties (global app menu, window icons, blur-behind) are planned as follow-ups.
https://avaloniaui.net/blog/release-12-1
If the Window icon is a dealbreaker, I would suggest to wait until the next Avalonia 12 update.
I will note that scaling behavior seems the same regardless of X11/Wayland - so there's not much of an advantage to have this in now other than to be ahead of the curve.

Does this fix any other issues like scaling?
Also can you check if wayland works on flatpak? I believe permissions needed to be changed to allow it.
