   Last time I checked, there was no Wayland support (other than executing in XWayland). Has it changed?

      Wayland support is being worked on, aiming for release in Tk 9.2 next year.

         glfw! that&#x27;s a bit surprising.

         i&#x27;d expect sdl, given wider platform coverage (e.g. mobile), more system integration (e.g. clipboard), and an existing port (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;androwish.org&#x2F;home&#x2F;dir?ci=trunk&amp;name=jni%2Fsdl2tk" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;androwish.org&#x2F;home&#x2F;dir?ci=trunk&amp;name=jni%2Fsdl2tk)

            glfw is smaller and more focused (SDL adds a TON of stuff, including even its own GPU abstraction API) so the choice was most likely made because of that focus.
