For the past few months, Collabora has been improving the experimental Wayland driver for Wine, which allows Windows applications to run directly on Wayland compositors. The goal is to eventually remove the need for XWayland for many use cases, and thus reduce the overall system complexity while eliminating points of potential inefficiency. The latest update for this driver adds several major features which increase its scope and utility, including Vulkan and multi-monitor support.
