Hello I need more info like what desktop environment you're using since it runs on riverwm (wayland wlroots) just fine. Thanks!
Comment 2 Michael Vetter 2024-01-26 12:51:14 UTC 
I'm running it on GNOME 45.3 with nvidia card and driver.
I thought I run gnome on wayland but now that I write this I realize I'm actually using X11.

Thanks for mentioning riverwm btw. Never heard of it.

Can you try running wezterm with

`wezterm --config 'front_end="OpenGL"'`

I have a feeling the WebGPU frontend does not work well on X11.

That works fine.

Cool. Could you open an issue to Wezterm and link it here? Thanks! :D

I don't mind but I already removed wezterm from my system.
You can upstream the bugreport or just close this one as you see fit.
