    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?

      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.

    Thought this was a satire until I realised that Wine is a linux application

      What is Wine anyway? All I can work out is that it definitely is not an emulator… (probably it’s a fermented drink made from grapes, but implemented in Linux.)
