   Signal Desktop is the last remaining X11 client on my Linux desktop 🤨

   #signal #wayland #linuxdesktop

     You can't tell the difference unless you check with xlsclients. But now I know and it bothers me...

     The Flatpak repo for Signal has instructions for switching Electron to Wayland, but it's buggy in some annoying ways:

     @thecactus It took over 10 years, but nowadays #Wayland is the default session for both #GNOME and #KDE.

     Most Qt and GTK apps can use Wayland natively, and legacy apps can still run in XWayland.

     @rubdos It works, but has a bizarre bug with keyboard input:

     @codewiz Natively with `signal-desktop --enable-features=UseOzonePlatform --ozone-platform=wayland --enable-features=WaylandWindowDecorations` it seems to work well!
