Houdini 22 no longer provides a Qt 5 build, but I’ve been able to use it on Wayland without issues by adding the following lines to houdini.env:

QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb
QT_XCB_NO_XI2=1

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 spent an entire day trying to import a character animation created in APEX into Solaris. Everything else works fine, but I just can’t find a way to export the blend shape data.
