    Anyone know how the Wayland driver in WINE will impact? I mean Wine works on XWayland so far, so what can we expect to get better with native Wayland support? I’ve searched a bit in web, but its hard to find some definitive answers (lots of general WINE and Wayland topics, often outdated).

      From my testing of the Wayland backend when it was still hidden behind a registry setting, it’s mainly for DPI awareness. For example, I use a 1440p screen with 1.25 scaling. Currently Wine through Xorg therefor sees my desktop as 1152p high. With the Wayland driver it would still correctly identify as using a 1440p screen.
