A third party ported a game to Linux then stopped keeping it up to date with the Windows version. Your versions have to match for online play, so to play with your Windows buddies, you have to force it to use the latest version on proton. But guess what, the save data is separated between platforms, so you have to create your character again and lose your story progress.

The game is Borderlands 2 BTW.

This feature is part of GNOME 48 which is included in Ubuntu 25.04. This is a backport for GNOME 46.

Emphasis on the protocol part. There is only 1 implementation of X11 (Xorg). Wayland however is just protocols. There are several implementations of varying quality.

Depending on your DE, you could be using one of Weston (reference impl), Mutter (GNOME), Kwin (Plasma), wlroots (hyprland, sway), etc.

You can fix it yourself by switching distros or desktop environments. Plasma 6 on Wayland is an amazing experience compared to Plasma 5 on X11.

WSL for Mac?
