PCSX2 Enables Wayland Support By Default - After Previously Calling It "Super Broken"

([Linux Gaming] 5 Hours Ago PCSX2)


The latest open-source project enabling Wayland support by default today is PCSX2 as the PlayStation 2 game emulator for Linux and other platforms.

[1]This pull request was merged today for fixing and enabling Wayland support by default with the PCSX2 emulator.

This comes a year and a half after they [2]resorted to disabling Wayland support after finding it " super broken/buggy in basically every scenario. KDE isn't too buggy, GNOME is a complete disaster ." But since then much of the Wayland support has improved across desktops and throughout the Linux software stack.

In the latest testing of PCSX2 on Wayland by its developers, they did uncover [3]a new upstream Qt toolkit bug . That Qt bug is around a Wayland rendering issue when using native windows on GNOME/Weston.

Great seeing the maturity of Wayland software support continue.
