Native Wayland GUI
1 vote
I'm using RDM on Arch/Hyprland. All in all it's great. There are a few oddities that I've come to expect on a tiling window manager (e.g. dialogues don't open in sensible places) -- no big deal. However, the GUI does not scale at all -- I assume that the RDM Linux client uses xwayland. My display is 32" 6k and I scale it 2x for an effective 3k resolution, which looks fantastic, but as RDM does not respect the scaling, it's incredibly small at native 6k.
Are Devolutions planning on supporting a native Wayland client?

Hello alexrugermusic,
At the moment, we've had to force our application to run under XWayland instead of native Wayland, because we're using Avalonia on RDM Linux. Avalonia gives us strong cross-platform windowing support, which is a big advantage for our project. However, native Wayland support is still experimental and not yet suitable for our use case.
As soon as native Wayland support becomes stable and feature-complete, we’ll definitely look into switching away from XWayland.

Looks like Avalonia now supports Wayland: https://avaloniaui.net/blog/release-12-1
Really hoping that RDM supports it soon!
