Description

Any plans to switch to wayland instead of x11?

I tried plasma bigscreen with bizhawk and it doesn't run on there because there's no legacy x11 support.

Plus using wayland should boost performance.

I have no clue what goes into converting the code to that though.. I've heard rumors claiming x11 support will be dropped entirely in the future

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. First locate BizHawk’s X11 and windowing integration, then determine what Wayland support would require for the Plasma Bigscreen case. Done would require an agreed migration scope and verified Wayland support.
