Some clients are known for being a massive pain under Wayland. Here are great

|
|
|
|
replacements for them:

|
|
|
|
|
the latest Electron, with support for Wayland Ozone platform, as well as
|
|
|
|
|
PipeWire screensharing. It has tons of great features and tries not to infringe

## Spotify

It has been reported that Spotify does not follow window rules. This is possibly
|
|
|
|
|
because the client sets is class _after_ the window has opened, thus making it "immune"
|
|
|
|
|
to windowrules. An alternative to Spotify's GUI client is
|
|
|
|
|
[spotify-tui](https://github.com/Rigellute/spotify-tui) which can be launched in a terminal
|
|
|
|
|
with a custom class. While limited in functionality, it is quite powerful and could be
|
|
|
|
|
preferred over the GUI client if windowrules are a dealbreaker for you.

Some users have also reported [installing spotifywm](https://github.com/amurzeau/spotifywm) has resolved
|
|
|
|
|
the issue. The original repository by [`dasJ`](https://github.com/dasJ/spotifywm) is no longer working because of some changes made in the newer
|
2022-10-20 21:21:52 +02:00
|
|
|
Spotify version, and until the pull request gets merged, [`amurzeau's fork`](https://github.com/amurzeau/spotifywm) does the job.

After following the installation paragraph on the README, start Spotify with:
|
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
|
|
|
LD_PRELOADER=/path/to/spotifywm.so spotify
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
The path **MUST** be the absolute one. If it's not, the hack will not work.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Pick your poison.
