Archived discussion. This page is a verbatim copy of a thread from
community.ansel.photos, the Ansel community forum, which ran from March 2023
until it was taken offline in June 2025 after the site was compromised — a counterfeit
site had been planted inside the forum software, so the whole thing had to come down.
The original address was https://community.ansel.photos/view-discussion/appimage-and-wayland.
No crawler ever captured this particular thread, so the text below — taken straight from the forum database — is the only copy left.
Answers may refer to older versions of Ansel, and image attachments did not survive the shutdown. Current discussion happens on GitHub Discussions .

I tried to run Ansel on Fedora 42 (Silverblue). With the Darktable Flatpak, I could start in Wayland mode just fine. I tried to set GDK_BACKEND=wayland and run the latest Ansel AppImage, but I still get an X11 window (confirmed with xeyes) and thus everything is blurry with 150% fractional scaling on Gnome. Does anyone have an idea how to fix this? Thanks!
