I have just installed Sway on Artix Linux, and I am trying to run Lagrange. It runs fine on XWayland, but the 2x scaling makes the window appear blurry.
I have managed to run Lagrange on Wayland before; but this time, I keep getting an error about missing videodrivers:
[edan:~]$ SDL_VIDEODRIVER=wayland lagrange
[SDL] init failed: wayland not available
I have scoured the web and Geminispace, and I haven't found anything useful. Can anyone here help?
SOLUTION: Just compile Lagrange from source. It's that simple.

I have used Wayland very little myself, so I can't provide any detailed help here. Generally speaking, SDL's Wayland support has been incomplete. I'm not sure how much improvement has occurred with this in recent SDL versions.
The SDL error suggests that the library is perhaps not configured with Wayland support. This could be the case if you are using a prebuilt Lagrange AppImage, for instance.
The safest bet is always to build the app from source with your distro's own libraries, so it has the best chance of working correctly.

@skyjake Okay, I'll try that. There are source and git versions of the browser available on the AUR.

@skyjake Well I'll be. That worked perfectly. Why didn't I think of doing that‽ Thank you!
