+ <h1>Pure Wayland</h1>
+ <p>A quick view of the status of a pure-wayland (as in not even <code>libX11.so</code>) setup.</p>
+

+ <li><a href="https://www.mozilla.com/firefox">Mozilla Firefox</a>: No, requires X11 libs and Wayland support is quite bugged, screen grabbing doesn't works without xdg-desktop-portal (dbus-based) and the indicator has it's own top-level window</li>
+ <li><a href="https://chromium.org/">chromium</a>: Not really, requires to enable ozone, which probably means compiling it yourself (You had one job binary-based distros)</li>
+ </ul>
+
+ <h2>Games</h2>
+ <ul>
+ <li><a href="https://github.com/fmang/oshu">oshu</a>: Yes, just Works™ thanks to it being pure SDL2</li>
+ <li><a href="https://neverball.org">neverball</a>: No, Fails at runtime</li>
+ <li><a href="https://www.bay12games.com/dwarves">dwarf fortress</a>: No, hard-depends on GTK2+ and libSDL-1</li>

+ <li><a href="https://github.com/eXeC64/imv">imv</a> (IMage Viewer): Sort-of, needs a patch for <code>-lGL</code> to <code>-lOpenGL</code> (<a href="https://github.com/eXeC64/imv/pull/285">my PR for it</a>)</li>
