Imho, linking to GitLab (source) is the best way to share on Lemmy. However, I see news about the Wine 10 release all day, and these are not shown as crossposts due to different links. Here are some other crossposts:
I really hope Proton 10 will have some sort of Wayland support, even if it would be hidden behind an environmental variable
We also need a native Wayland client for Steam, though it’s tied to Chromium Embedded Framework’s native Wayland support. Probably it will come with Electron’s support. No idea when.
Could you elaborate on the advantages, I’m using wayland and steam for games, no issues so far.
It’ll be more performant, lower latency, have proper HDR support (current method is a hack), scale properly based on your displays, and probably be generally less buggy long-term (probably more buggy when it first gets added since it’s a pretty fundamental change).
You’re currently using a compatibility layer called xwayland to run it, which adds a ton of cruft.
HDR support
Doesn’t valve already use gamescope (Wayland compositor) with HDR support? And KDE?
Yes, but it’s a hack, when it’s properly implemented you won’t need gamescope and it won’t have to be fullscreen as far as i’m aware, although i could be wrong about the fullscreen thing.
Ah, I guess the HDR support in Wayland is still exposed via an “experimental” interface. But it looks like a handful of Wayland compositors support it, including wlroots which a bunch of smaller compositors are based off of.
wlroots doesn’t support HDR.
Fractional scaling
I really hope Proton would stop running a container. It makes running additional programs harder (opentrack for example) and our computers less ours
Containers are good for a number of reasons, and definitely will not and should not be going away, instead use one of these tools to bypass it:
Does it? What containerization does it use? I thought it was similar to wine, just a process pointed at a windows exe, and an environment to make the app think it’s running in a windows filesystem.
Yes it does.

I believe there is a project to add a Steam independent version of it to Bottles, Lutris, and other proton guis.
By better hidpi support, does this mean that those “windows” specific windows that launch sometimes when I do things wine related will actually have a normal size on my 4k monitor instead of being microscopic?

Have you tried lutris?
