For people who enjoy seeing improvements for emulation on Linux, and for Wayland support - the Playstation 2 Emulator PCSX2 has now enabled support for it by default.
Earlier this month I shared the news that they were working towards it, after previously stopping it being the default due to lots of issues. With the latest code that's been merged, it is now enabled by default for an upcoming release.
They have also filed a bug with upstream Qt "Wayland rendering bug when using native windows on GNOME/Weston". Hopefully that will also be solved in a future Qt release.
Great for continued game preservation on modern Linux. You can see more about the emulator on the official site.

Glad to hear that, considering that they disabled it last year (I think?) due to issues with Wayland. Seems like Wayland's matured enough or the GUI library they're using has finally fixed up their problems.

I'd put money on Wayland maturing over time, the PCSX2 devs weren't wrong about it being a mess in a lot of ways.
I saw similar news in another popular linux site/forum, which... frankly is known for rather toxic forums, rag on the PCSX2 devs like how dare they have a reasoned opinion and then do the ridiculous thing like update their opinions as time passes and issues resolve.
