[Feature Request] Wayland Support

[nyabinary]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

• [ ] Wayland Support
• [ ] Wayland Screensharing Support
• [ ] Pipewire Support (To make Audio Screensharing Work)

Describe the solution you'd like Implementation of these features (Armcord is currently working on this as well) Make Wayland work natively on Dorion instead of running it through Xwayland.

This'd be great to have, especially since some desktops (kde plasma cough cough) is now using wayland by default :)

Currently it crashes on build:

rror: failed to run custom build command for `x11 v2.21.0`

Caused by:

@samolego Out of purely curiosity, can you try building the next branch? That's on Tauri v2 and may not hard-require X11 anymore. Keep in mind it won't work properly, I'd just like to know if this issue will be closed by that move

[samolego]

Sadly still fails with same X11 error :(.

[SpikeHD]

Mkay, I'm told it works under Wayland just fine but you'll need to install X11 just for the build dependency I guess (or you can just download a release of course)

[samolego]

Ah, nice to know that!

Yeah, might just use the released tarball :)

[SpikeHD]

Tested and confirmed that the Dorion window runs with native Wayland (not xwayland) using both xeyes and xwininfo to test in a Wayland session (ty Arch Wiki). Honestly, I'm pretty sure this has been the case for a long time already, I just never tested it myself until now :P

I'm gonna close this since screenshare/audio/etc. are separate issues that cannot even really be tackled until WebKitGTK ships with WebRTC support (and even then, I only have so much control over it, so I don't know how feasible these even are)
