There's this whole article about KiCad being broken on Wayland... but apparently it's all just a distro packaging problem???
kicad.org/blog/2025/06/KiCad-a…
The article doesn't mention XWayland at all, but KiCad works perfectly under XWayland as far as I can tell, and that is the default on at least Fedora! wxwidgets (the toolkit KiCad uses) is still flaky under native Wayland apparently, but it is perfectly okay to keep using XWayland for now, and you should! Apps and toolkits should not switch the default backend to Wayland until all major regressions are fixed, that's kind the whole reason why XWayland exists!
Here's a thread on the story: forum.kicad.info/t/not-the-sel…
If you are on a distro that enables KiCad Wayland support by default and you experience the issues in that blog post, you don't need to (and probably should not) switch to an X11 session. Just launch KiCad as GDK_BACKEND=x11 kicad and it should run under XWayland just as well as it does under X11 sessions.
Some distros are dropping support for the legacy Xorg server and X11-native sessions, but nobody is dropping support for X11 apps and XWayland, and nobody should be concerned about running apps in X11 mode for as long as it's needed!
Edit: If you're on GNOME with fractional scaling and XWayland apps are blurry, apparently there's a secret toggle to fix that these days.
KiCad and Wayland Support
The KiCad development team frequently receives questions about our support for Wayland. Given that Fedora and Ubuntu are both planning to drop X11 support from their main desktop environments in the near future, we want to provide clear, transparent …The KiCad editors (KiCad EDA)

in reply to Asahi Lina (朝日リナ) // nullptr::live • • •> KiCad works perfectly under XWayland
No it doesn't. Xwayland uses Wayland to get things on the screen, so it has the same fundamental limitations as Wayland (minus some window management behavior). There is no way around actually adjusting the UX in some cases.
All of that misses the important point though: their complaints are for the most part just whining while not putting any effort into wayland for their UI toolkit. Other productivity apps like blender managed to transition to Wayland just fine.
None of their whining is actionable and they take an absolutist position and say Wayland has to change for them to make all of their existing UX work, instead of trying to come up with alternative solutions.
Asahi Lina (朝日リナ) // nullptr::live
in reply to Sebastian Wick • • •@swick
Most of the issues KiCad is pointing out aren't Wayland protocol limitations, they are bugs in their implementation or the toolkit's (wxwidgets). Those go away under XWayland. The rest are mostly window management issues where XWayland gets to do things with extra privilege, and it also works fine.
I just tested this. The panel docking, the window position restoring, etc. all works under XWayland. If there are any specific bugs with repro steps that affect XWayland and not native X11 I'd love to know about them!
Sebastian Wick
in reply to Asahi Lina (朝日リナ) // nullptr::live • • •Xwayland doesn't have extra privileges, it interacts with the compositors XWM and how well and this works is an implementation detail. You got lucky with your testing. This will get worse as compositors are looking for ways to get rid of the XWM which means no more of this special handling. You will have the option to run a rootful Xwayland when that's not sufficient.
Then there are things like pointer warping which also won't work, or at least not in all the ways it works on X11. I guess you didn't test those?
Asahi Lina (朝日リナ) // nullptr::live
in reply to Sebastian Wick • • •@swick That sounds like a compositor problem, not an XWayland problem. I doubt KWin is going to get rid of its XWayland integration any time soon, and right now it works great and has had a lot of effort put into it...
I didn't try the pointer warps because I'm not sure where KiCad uses them. Maybe someone knows?

in reply to Asahi Lina (朝日リナ) // nullptr::live • • •Honestly, I might prefer the native Wayland version of KiCad with all its issues rather than the XWayland version of KiCad with all of XWayland's issues. I'm willing to deal with *a lot* of inconvenience to avoid the blur of XWayland...
As long as XWayland is completely broken when using DPI scaling, it's not a suitable fallback for anything but certain games where the blur is acceptable.
Asahi Lina (朝日リナ) // nullptr::live
in reply to mort • • •@mort XWayland isn't blurry on KDE ^^
I still don't know why GNOME and others haven't fixed this yet...
mort
in reply to Asahi Lina (朝日リナ) // nullptr::live • • •I don't get it either. But since it's still broken, I totally get why distros which use GNOME would prefer to package broken wayland-native builds of applications instead of packaging broken XWayland builds of applications
Honestly I think that a lot of the animosity towards Wayland in general stems from the lack of a functional compatibility layer to run X applications in GNOME.
Asahi Lina (朝日リナ) // nullptr::live
in reply to mort • • •mort
in reply to Asahi Lina (朝日リナ) // nullptr::live • • •Oh, that's excellent news! I'll have to test it out when I'm at my desktop next. Thanks for telling me, I had no idea!
...I wonder how well it works when my monitors are at different DPI scales. And how much longer it'll take until XWayland works by default

in reply to Josh Simmons • • •to be concrete the design enforced limitations are:
- everything with window positioning
- clipboard functionality
- dialogs
- call throttling for obscured windows
- focus
Some have mitigations:
- throttling has some extensions now, unsure whether they're universally supported (don't believe so)
- some environments have clipboard managers
- there's a feature that allows (if supported) restoration of window layout at startup (but without any other features, and without any info to the app)

I think the right call in that case is to explain to your users why things don't work properly in GNOME and why there is no viable path forward, not that it's Wayland's fault.

Even Chromium in Fedora is still using XWayland by default. Lots of apps are still using X11 backends. People don't notice because it works fine.
