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.

Not just X11 apps, it doesn't work properly even in webapps.
Well, there's not really many good alternative, but used to use Onboard which has some good features. You can give that a try.

If you're talking about running web-apps in the browser, I found that using environment variable
MOZ_USE_XINPUT2=1solves some of my virtual keyboard issues in Firefox (update I just tried disabling the variable and it works the same...maybe it was just placebo...). For example, if you wanted to run the Librewolf flatpak you can doflatpak run --env=MOZ_USE_XINPUT2=1 io.gitlab.librewolf-communityor to set the variable permanently you can doflatpak override --user --env=MOZ_USE_XINPUT2=1 io.gitlab.librewolf-communityand then Librewolf will always launch with that option.As for Chromium forks, they don't use Wayland yet so that just goes back to the X11 / XWayland issues. Same goes for Electron apps. At least from what I understand from https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/issues/6238. Maybe there's a way to force Chromium/Electron to use Wayland, I haven't tried it yet
And I'll try Onboard, thanks for the tip
Update: I tried onboard, and it also didn't work for X11 apps :(
