Damn, I was 100% xorg free but the one thing that does not seem to be interested in working on Wayland: Android studio ðŸ˜
Discussion
Ya I know I can just use Xwayland but I didn't want other apps sneakily using it...
a clue that may help, intellij (the engine of android studio) produces a GUI based on the java engine running it. you probably can tweak it to use a different java engine that targets wayland as you wish it to.
i have no idea though, honestly, but for sure the most recent version of Goland ran way way nicer on openjdk 17, at least, not sure if the intellij backend of android studio that you want to use is going to be good with it, or if it will support wayland properly as you are trying to achieve.
i've quit using jetbrains stuff now though. to be honest it was getting irritatingly unstable already a year ago and they still haven't got the new UI working nice and old versions don't play nice with faster java runtimes either, so i'm back to vscode... a few minor niggles but i'm generally happier with it to be honest.
i'm a wayland disrespecter though, full disclosure. i just find that wayland has way too many glitches. with various versions of gnome i was getting garbage and flickering on screen, crashes, freezes, wrong colours, compositing problems on themes, and not to mention that the entire gnome 4 series is just a bucket of shit, i honestly can't comprehend why they had to change the theme engine at all, cos now when i run gnome 4 anything it's a dog's breakfast of dark, light, and various old window frames on almost everything.
so i run cinnamon now, it's the only one that sticks to the good gtk, version 3.
Ya, I have no interest in trying to fix intellij, was surprised how dinosaur it feels now. I will just appease it with Xwayland for now. I don't spend much time in there, mostly just for building apks and I can edit code for Kotlin in vscode.
I run sway and arch. I'm addicted to Wayland cause it's so fast 🔥 I am willing to put up with minor glitches in apps and file bugs upstream.
Maybe it's the Intel gfx? Lotta stuff goin on in Linux gfx driver world hehe
yeah, i run amd vega 8 at the moment, used to have a rig with 5500M that played most of the games i wanted to play nicely. just no time or money for any of that right now.
i use arch btw :D:D:D also. the best.
