Hi there!
Is there a way to try out the new AWT Wayland backend in a Compose desktop app (using JBR)?

I didn't know this existed! Can you send me a link to the article?

<https://wiki.openjdk.org/display/wakefield/Pure+Wayland+toolkit+prototype>

<@U070RR9Q6BE> This is part of the JDK and is still a WIP for now
IntelliJ IDEs support it, but still have some issues here and there.
It can be enabled with this VM flag on any Java (21?) app: `-Dawt.toolkit.name=WLToolkit`

Unfortunately this isn't supported in Compose Desktop for the moment (it crashes if you use the flag), mainly because Skiko's Linux implementation depends on X11, and doesn't support wayland yet: <https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/SKIKO-28>
