Just wondering if there are any news or idea if this will be possible at some point? Are there any plans to support Wayland at least in the next mayor version?

I was hoping for this too, at least for me I can launch Houdini on Wayland but it is very unstable.

I am on Fedora 41 KDE plasma . Houdini on Wayland crashes non stop. Also I couldn`t manage to configure my wacom tablet pen buttons. I just want to switch right click with left click . So now I go back to X11 then Houdini is ok and I can switch wacom pen buttons.

Now I have dual monitor issues. My laptop is 1080p and my second monitor is 4K. Dual monitor resolution setup doesn`t work and it is annoying. But I think it is the lesser evil and it is easier to manage so I stayed on X11 for now.

Anyone know if there is any Sidefx plans to implement Wayland compatibility on Houdini?
Would be nice to have it.

i've contacted the suport team end they said

Our developers have told me that we are planning on adding support for Wayland in the future. Our plan is to enable Wayland support in the Qt 6 build but only in the Houdini 21.0 release. I don't believe we will enable it in Houdini 20.5.

it's X11 for us until houdini 21 comes around
