With more distros moving away from x11 and recently some removing it entirely I was curious if there's any timeline or hopeful release schedule for wayland support. I know it's already currently in the works just wondering how it's going.

Hey friend, I’ve been working with a Qt5-built Houdini on Fedora 43 under Wayland for several days now. The issues that used to bother me—such as the mouse wheel not working in the network editor and parameters disappearing when scrolling in the parameter pane—are all gone. I don’t know exactly what fixed them or who was responsible. I only know that I’m no longer encountering these problems, and I hope this information is helpful to you.

I'm running Rocky Linux 10.1 + Wayland + Houdini 21.0.596 and everything works great.

Thanks for the feedback, that's good news! I guess they've been quietly working on it in the bg. I'll give it a try and see how it goes.

Same... but I have to use the Qt5 of Houdini, not Qt6, since I have the exact same issue as guan9287.

Just a feedback, I am working on Fedora Wayland and Houdini 21.0.631 is very unstable it freezes time to time, I am circling around it going to a X11 desktop like Cinnamon but it is not ideal.

Did you install QT 5 version? I am just curious.

Yes it is installed, even so Houdini keeps freezing from nowhere.
