Known Issues

  • Dragging curved displays very close may make them disappear. Long click the toggle on the watch to force respawn.
  • Wayland: It's possible that your compositor does not implement some of the required protocols. Please create a ticket to let us know in that case.
  • Wayland: screencopy can crash, especially with multiple screens up. this is being investigated, recommend wrapping in a restart loop for practical use in the meantime.
