How do I configure xdg-desktop-portal so that it works and keeps working?
It comes with a systemd service file https://github.com/emersion/xdg-desktop-portal-wlr/blob/master/contrib/systemd/xdg-desktop-portal-wlr.service.in that you can use

How do you guys screenshare Sway on Discord?
Are you running the Wayland envvar for Firefox, MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1? Because the rest of your setup sounds very similar to my (working) setup. You could also run the Python test script included with xdg-desktop-portal-wlr (bottom of this page) as a sanity check that nothing's going wrong there

Tearing updates got merged into Wayland! Now we only have to wait for implementations in KWin and Gnome!
I believe that a lot of the current approach to fixing it is something similar to xdg-desktop-portal. That's for signaling for screenshots, but a similar idea could work for listening for key events without being focused, apparently. It bypasses the standard Wayland system completely and uses D-Bus and Pipewire instead. I'm not too familiar with the details myself, though.

PSA: Steam Link (Remote Play) works on Wayland with AMD GPU
I don't know which of the xdg-desktop-portal backends you would need for gamescope, but xdg-desktop-portal-wlr has a config file which it reads where you can set the preferred output and set the chooser_type to none. That makes it skip the screen selector for me.

Is the Racket 8.9 flatpak supposed to take this long to load?
I came across this, could this be playing a role? If it fixes Fedora 37 then it would be a clue and perhaps then the package could enter the string itself? https://github.com/flatpak/xdg-desktop-portal-gtk/issues/72

Where to file bug reports about "portals" ?
However, the actual dialogs and access points are provided by a backend, which differs from what desktop are you using. For example, Gnome uses xdg-desktop-portal-gtk, KDE uses xdg-desktop-portal-kde and so on.\ If there is an issue with the implementation of an portal, you need to find the backend you use and report it to them.

GNOME 41 is out.
you still xdg-desktop-portal-wlr in sway for screen sharing. the purpose of the gtk portal on non-gnome setups is to pass through some gtk settings (e.g. fontconfig, aliasing, gtk theme) to flatpak apps. your gtk flatpak apps won't follow the system theme and fontconfig unless you have the xdg-desktop-portal-gtk installed. right now it's borked though see below for more details - https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/72686?project=1&string=xdg-desktop-portal-gtk - https://github.com/flatpak/xdg-desktop-portal-gtk/issues/360
