      Re: Status of Wayland support and how to enable

      Using opera --enable-features=UseOzonePlatform --ozone-platform=wayland %U to use wayland breaks icon (No icon) and name (No name).

        In the Plasma Wayland session, the task manager shows a generic Wayland icon instead of the proper application icon.

        All we need to do is make sure that the window correctly reports the name of the .desktop file to the compositor. Currently, Opera doesn't report the desktopFileName property.

        For example, Chromium and Brave report it correctly.

        How to ping Opera developers?

          @amaminov It's possible that this is connected to Electron issue #34928, but Opera just hasn't published a new release with an updated version of Electron. The bug fix was fairly recent.

            @amaminov There is no change in that behavior to date. The bug is present in Wayland
