I started working on Flyaway with the intention of becoming familiar with Wayland, its protocols and extensions, and the wlroots library. Instead, I ended up genuinely liking all three.

    GTK does not use env vars for configuration, those are for development. There are some GSettings that control scaling like org.gnome.desktop.interface text-scaling-factor.

    Screen sharing also works once apps catch up.

      The env var works fine on Xorg though. And yeap, several applications need to catch up. That’s what I meant when I said it’s not wayland fault itself. However it’s been years things have been trying to catch up. Every now and then I try, but a couple of months back I couldn’t routinely use wayland, given all missing functionality plus additional nuances… The hard part is that if not using gnome, or plasma for that matter, getting things working take a lot of time, just to find out some things, I depend on for work, don’t work yet. At any rate, I still pay attention as well, to forums like this, to see if there’s some news that might trigger another retrial…
