From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

This is... very smart actually. Any reason this is limited to Xwayland? (Is that XDG portal a thing yet?)
X apps can read all of your keystrokes. Wayland by default doesn't allow this, and because of that apps running on XWayland can ex. have it's global shortcuts broken. Plasma already had an option to change this behaviour back in 5.27. I guess they changed it from "Never" read keystrokes to "Only with modifier keys", as a default.
Shit, now malicious apps can spy my master password, which is CTRL, CTRL, ALT, META, CTRL, LEFT, RIGHT, LEFT, CTRL
Can wayland native apps not do that already? I assumed that they could and that's why this was being built for xwayland
