    While I understand that Wayland is broken for the purpose of PCSX2, I am unfortunately biased against the developers here due to the horrible experiences I had with them.

    If anyone will take up the task of fixing this, be warned that they absolutely do not cooperate with you on the PRs that they receive.

      PCSX and PCSX2 are ancient. I wish DuckStation supported PS2 too because it’s an excellent modern emulator.

        Well, stenzek is the developer of DuckStation and the person behind the new Qt UI and many new fixes on the backend of PCSX2.

        But, I will agree that we do need a new emulator. The emulator called “Play!” is a really good candidate and looks promising. Seeing how it runs on ARM beautifully, I can’t wait to see how far it goes.

        PCSX2 runs fine for most people today, but the foundation is a bit too old for its own good. This is why you don’t see too many ports of PCSX2 to other plaforms. They have improved massively by ditching the entire plugin system a few years ago, but that alone isn’t enough to make it more portable and easy to run.

    I figured that GNOME’s insistence on CSD few years back will bite them in the rear.

    And I don’t wanna be that guy that’s wants something to fail just because it’s not to my taste, but I’m glad to hear that the dev thinks KDE’s Wayland is in much better shape than GNOME’s, especially since GNOME’s pushing it really hard.

    For me, personally, I won’t switch away until Plasma 6 comes out, if it’s in much better shape than Plasma 5’s Wayland, and games running through Proton work well enough in Wayland competitively.

      At this point I have fewer problems with Wayland than I did with Xorg. Sure it’s not fully baked for everyone’s use case just yet, but for browsing, working and gaming it’s been great for me. I straight up forget I’m even on Wayland at times. It just works great out of the box!

      And Plasma 6 is looking quite promising in that department too!
