PCSX2 Disables Wayland Support
>Not losing all the work every time your windows manager crashes
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37509703
>remapping keys
>Use xinput to change parameters of their input devices (libinput dropped most configuration options present with evdev)
Up to the compositor.
>Global shortcuts
Also up to the compositor. Was added to xdp in https://github.com/flatpak/xdg-desktop-portal/blob/main/data... so it's up to the compositor's xdp impl to provide it. It was created by a KDE dev so I assume KDE implements it at least.

Gnome developer proposes removing the X11 session
> - O proper screen recording support
Works just fine. I use OBS.
> - broken screen sharing
Never had any trouble with it.
> - No proper global keyboard shortcut
> - No push to talk support
On its way: https://github.com/flatpak/xdg-desktop-portal/pull/711 / https://flatpak.github.io/xdg-desktop-portal/#gdbus-org.free...
> - Several problems with multiple screens
Haven't had any more than on X11, but then again I do use Nvidia hardware on Linux.

The Guy Preserving the New History of PC Games, One Linux Port at a Time
It might help, but at this point Linux containers can't really stabilize the whole environment, especially for games. Particular pain points include accelerated graphics (which theoretically can have a stable kernel interface, but in practice is so complex and performance-sensitive that it's not stable enough to be a "reference platform", so to speak) and modern game controllers (which present a whole mess of concerns typically "addressed" in Flatpak by granting the device=all permission and hoping for the best [1]).
I also know a guy who ran into issues with a kernel update breaking a custom allocator, although I don't know the fine details. That wasn't for a game, but games also use custom allocators for various reasons.

I don't use Wayland, but it seems xdg-desktop-portal since 1.16.0 has a 'Global Shortcuts portal'. Perhaps check it out.

Xdg portal hyprland and launching gui apps
Yeah been having the same issue since I changed to using the unstable branch, supposedly noticed and fixed upstream for a few variants of the problem (different people with different configurations of DE and xdg-* deps installed report the same issue due to timeouts of the other portals)

Firefox 116 Should Have Experimental PipeWire Camera Support
If you don't know what PipeWire is (I didn't), it's an audio-video handler - it replaces things like PulseAudio.

Yousican & Linux
I installed and configured pipewire according to the instructions from the Debian website. And let me tell you, it solved all my problems. The sound quality is good enough for practice, latency is very low. Currently, I just mute my guitar in YS, turn on ToneLib, adjust the volume on the system mixer, and play.
