Quoting: Guesthow has gaming performance been for you? i've noticed a stark difference between x11 and wayland when fps is low. x11 is very smooth but in wayland it feels like lag. i guess latency increase. a lot more sluggish.
No difference for me so far. Wine is using XWayland in this case. I haven't tested with many games though.

I don't think Wayland has a concept of "exclusive fullscreen mode" anymore. It has something called direct scanout though.

It would be also good for Wine to finally upstream the Wayland driver, so it won't need to rely on XWayland anymore.

Running it for a while. There are a few annoying edge cases like clipboard sync lacking for ssh sessions (useful for remote editors). Same for clipboard sync inside a VM.

I also tried Wine Wayland build for gaming - that doesn't really work yet. Regular Wine in XWayland works fine though.

But other than that, it's pretty good.

Did you enable "Shared clipboard" within the VM ?

It's a known bug with vdagent. It doesn't support Wayland in the guest yet.
