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.

now to wait out the years for old game launchers and wine to follow suit, and years more for proton to get it...
wine already has it...
electron/cef apps doing cross process rendering can't display sooo
no clue what you're saying... works on every system I have
Then you're either not using the native wayland driver, or you're running apps that don't use cross-process rendering. Try Ubisoft Connect or Jagex Launcher. Ubisoft Connect just displays a tiny window with nothing in it, but is probably supposed to show an error message, and Jagex launcher just shows a black screen, according to this comment.
So unless you use a wine version patched to include the cross-process rendering code that was apparently already develoled by Collabora (which I think is located here), you're not gonna get these apps to work.
