alt Hacker NewsDoes anybody have tips for running Godot on KDE Plasma + Wayland? I tried 4.0 and an earlier 3.x release from the store but both hung shortly after startup. Maybe need some Wayland argument, will check.

Never had any issues, using the Godots (sic) version manager from Flathub, and custom built versions from git. Something’s wrong on your end
From Archwiki:
Godot runs on Wayland using Xwayland, which causes a variety of UI issues, when not running in single window mode. [1] To get around this, start Godot with godot --single-window, then open a project, and enable single window mode in the editor settings.
This issue has been resolved in Godot 4.1.1. [2] This issue seems to have recurred in Godot 4.2 [3]
With Godot 4.3, Wayland can be used natively. [4] There are two ways to do this:
The above only makes Godot's client to run under native Wayland, but games still run under Xwayland. In order for games to run under native Wayland, go to project settings, click on "Display Server" at the sidebar, and at the option "Driver.linuxbsd" select wayland.https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Godot_Engine
