- Which ones are still a struggle?
- How many serious protocols are there missing?

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.

Annyoing. If you are/were on KDE Plasma there is XWaylandVideobridge, which allows to share the screen by apps requesting access to the webcam, but getting a virtual input instead, which comes out of KDEs portal.
Yeah complex, but said to work. Apps need to run as X11 though.
I'm on GNOME, but thanks for the help. Getting me to dig deeper and figure out it's a known issue with Slack and not Wayland will help me going forward.
No, screensharing works really well. Only problem is if apps expect to show a preview themselves, like Firefox. Then you get annoying duplicate portal requests, still works.
