You all can argue about this or complain about how “childish” the dev is (and that environment variable name isn’t so bad: I_WANT_A_BROKEN_WAYLAND_UI makes it clear that you are turning on a broken feature that doesn’t work, which is good, because that’s exactly what you’re doing. It’s miles better than --my-next-gpu-wont-be-nvidia, or POSIX_ME_HARDER. I mean, you want to talk about childish…). I’m an actual PCSX2 user, so I am immensely thankful for this change.
I’m thankful because, as the MR points out, PCSX2’s wayland implementation is broken. If it can’t be effectively fixed at present, turning it off by default is just basic courtesy to the user. Every time I had to launch PCSX2, I had to remember to make sure QT_QPA_PLATFORM was set to xcb so the goddamn thing would work. Making the program default to X11 is just a good idea.
I can only imagine that anyone outraged over this or demanding the patch be reverted doesn’t actually care about using this piece of software.
