## SDL ## SDL
As of version 2.0.22, SDL prioritizes the Wayland video driver over X11. SDL3 uses native Wayland [by default](https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL/commit/f9f7db4e0860).
For older versions: SDL2 uses [Xwayland by default](https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL/commit/254fcc90eb22), so use
```shell ```shell
SDL_VIDEODRIVER=wayland SDL_VIDEODRIVER=wayland
``` ```
NOTE: Steam, most games and other (older) binary applications might not work with `wayland` SDL video driver, due to old bundled SDL library. Unset or tweak for specific applications as needed. NOTE: Steam, most games and other (older) binary applications might not work with `wayland` SDL video driver, due to old bundled SDL library. Unset, tweak for specific applications or force newer SDL via
```shell
SDL_DYNAMIC_API=/usr/lib/libSDL2-2.0.so
```
SDL1 doesn't support native Wayland, so use SDL2 via [sdl12-compat](https://github.com/libsdl-org/sdl12-compat).
