[Interest] What is the state of Wayland support in Qt 6.10

[Lencho]

Hello,
And thank you to all who responded and linked useful resources (and 
sorry I took so long to react).

Unfortunately this confirms what I expected and makes it very difficult 
for me to promote my program on Linux (unless I explicitly restrict to 
X11 sessions under certain distributions that will still support it for 
a while, but that becomes a bit difficult to explain to non technical 
people!). Such a pity.

I had not though about enforcing using Xwayland, but isn't that 
something that is, also, completely beyond my control as the developer 
and not the end-user?

Finally, the last idea I have for now, not really tried, but maybe 
someone can directly put me off if they know it won't work either :-) : 
make my application always run fullscreen and therefore cover the whole 
desktop, and manipulate sub-windows as I want "inside" my fullscreen 
main window. Will it cover all monitors though?

Has someone tried something like this under Wayland?

Thanks again,

Lencho
