I’ve been on Wayland for the past two years exclusively (Nvidia).

I thought it was okay for the most part but then I had to switch to an X session recently. The experience felt about the same. Out of curiosity, I played a couple of games and realized they worked much better. Steam doesn’t go nuts either.

Made me think maybe people aren’t actually adopting it that aggressively despite the constant coverage in the community. And that maybe I should just go back.

    WHAT! might I ask if you need any special version of discord? Or does audio sharing just-work on wayland

      The official Discord app is halfway there. Sharing a window works with sound, sharing the entire screen doesn’t work at all. Webcord can share the entire screen, though I don’t know about sound yet.

      To be entirely fair, Discord on windows can’t share the entire screen with sound either, at least for me.

      Yes as far as I know you need special clients for now. I’ve been using discord-screenaudio for a year or so and it works on Wayland. Also with the latest update of Webcord I’ve been able to stream with audio but friends are saying that it doesn’t sound as good.

      Other than showing the xdg-portal popup when sharing your screen the experience is essentially the same as the Discord app.
