SDL Tries Again To Prefer Wayland Over X11

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on /r/linux_gaming

Our great sponsors
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • arcan

    Arcan - [Display Server, Multimedia Framework, Game Engine] -> "Desktop Engine"

  • Arcan is a decent contender for an actual way forward (and like PipeWire replacing PulseAudio, Arcan natively supports X11 and Wayland clients)

  • sdl2-compat

    An SDL2 compatibility layer that uses SDL3 behind the scenes.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
