From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Ah the problem you are describing in wayland actually usually happens only with electron apps. Most of the electron apps require forcing them to run on wayland. They are usually running on X (x-wayland) which cause all sorts of glitches. You can use xeyes to check if the app is using xwayland or not. If eyes move when you move the cursor inside the app then it's on xwayland.
To resolve the issues for the electron apps I pass these parameters:
--enable-features=UseOzonePlatform --ozone-platform=wayland
Getting these args to flatpacks could be a bit tricky. You can usually find Appimages that can allow you to run these apps easily on wayland.
I am also on ver 550.120 so doubt that driver is the issue here.
😂i need to fix element (matrix client) with that 🥳 finally got the cause of the issue
Thank you very much!
How could that be fixed by the devs? Is it something electron has to update or all electron apps individually, in order for it to work out of box?
So last when I was following the issue on github, it would need to be supported by electron first. It’s in the works but for now, and take it with a grain of salt, I think the recommendation in the issue was to add the options in the desktop file or executable of the app yourself.
If you are distributing the app with the flags then just a remainder to set the compatibility of the flags such that it also works with X.
