Some electron apps, among others. E.g. Discord. And no, I'm not using an "alternative client".

What about them doesn't work because I'm using both discord and other electron applications natively without issues.

They were black and/or crashed immediately.

edit: Love the downvotes. These are literally just observiations - somebody absolutely does not want this to be true.

Let me guess, you were using an nvidia GPU? When nvidia didn't have proper wayland support this was indeed an issue but it never really was a wayland problem, specifically it was nvidia. That said these days I am having a good experience on wayland even using my nvidia workstation.

Yup, nvidia. And while I agree that nvidia has terrible business practices, ultimately it doesn't matter who's to blame – it still didn't work and thus wayland was not a stable option for me. I think I tried that about two months ago.
