TLDR: XFCE and Cinnamon devs are begging beginning to work on Wayland support.

    Gamescope is a Wayland compositor. You can find the source code here. Others have actually made forks that work on regular Linux for automatic FSR and such to improve gaming on normal Linux desktops.

    I know KDE mode still runs X11 for now (though I’m not 100% sure why), but I don’t think most Deck customers spend all that much time in desktop mode. I certainly don’t, desktop mode on such a small screen just isn’t very practical, especially at such a low resolution and lacking the automatic touch keyboard feature you find on smartphones, tablets, and in Windows.

      Ahhhh right, yeah not sure why they don’t use wayland on desktop though. I can imagine they will in a year or so
