Wayland opengl support is a huge step towards not needing xwayland! Whoo!
I really wish Proton would start jumping on, at least in the experimental builds.
Currently they lack Wayland support altogether.
So do I, but I understand why they’re holding off.
The entire Steam Deck user experience is directly correlated to Proton’s stability and reliability, so they’re probably waiting for almost-complete Wayland support. I’d be pretty pissed if I bought a console and my games didn’t launch OOB, even if I know how that console works under-the-hood.
Imagine how someone who doesn’t know Linux would feel.

I ran DOSBox through Wine the other day because it worked better on Wayland that way.
Haven’t used dosbox in ages, is it broken on Wayland?
At least on the Steam Deck I couldn’t get an image out of it in gaming mode. But it worked with the windows version through Wine, which probably was actually still running XWayland.
Can’t you force the Linux version to use xwayland?
XDG_SESSION_TYPE=x11
If you’re using a Flatpak, in theory, you can use Flatseal to deny the Wayland socket and allow the X11 socket instead.
