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.

Approaching the gates of the monastery, Hakuin found Ken the Zen
preaching to a group of disciples.
"Words..." Ken orated, "they are but an illusory veil obfuscating
the absolute reality of --"
"Ken!" Hakuin interrupted. "Your fly is down!"
Whereupon the Clear Light of Illumination exploded upon Ken, and he
vaporized.
On the way to town, Hakuin was greeted by an itinerant monk imbued
with the spirit of the morning.
"Ah," the monk sighed, a beatific smile wrinkling across his cheeks,
"Thou art That..."
"Ah," Hakuin replied, pointing excitedly, "And Thou art Fat!"
Whereupon the Clear Light of Illumination exploded upon the monk,
and he vaporized.
Next, the Governor sought the advice of Hakuin, crying: "As our
enemies bear down upon us, how shall I, with such heartless and callow
soldiers as I am heir to, hope to withstand the impending onslaught?"
"US?" snapped Hakuin.
Whereupon the Clear Light of Illumination exploded upon the
Governor, and he vaporized.
Then, a redneck went up to Hakuin and vaporized the old Master with
his shotgun. "Ha! Beat ya' to the punchline, ya' scrawny li'l geek!"
