Description

Hi all,

Are there any plans to make openFrameworks run natively on wayland, since this is increasingly moving from the Future to the Now on a lot of Linux systems?
Or, even better, is this already possible to achieve by simply changing a couple of build flags?

Research direction

Start by inspecting the Linux platform and windowing/build configuration to determine whether Wayland support can be enabled through existing flags or requires new integration. Done would mean a clearly scoped native Wayland implementation or a documented conclusion about the required work; no specific files or tests are named in the issue.
