How can I launch freeoffice natively on wayland compositor?

I tried to duck, but haven't gotten any relevant results.

The executables appear to be freeoffice-planmaker, freeoffice-textmaker, and freeoffice-presentations, all of which are under /usr/bin/ and so should be in your user's PATH.

Have you tried running those commands?

There are .desktop files so there should be a menu option for the applications. Which compositor is this?

Freeoffice seems to be X11 only so you will also need the xorg-xwayland package and a compositor that supports it.

Apps in xwayland are blurry, and I try to launch them wayland-natively, so they are not blurry.

That won't be possible, the application needs to support Wayland and I don't think that's the case for Freeoffice.

The blur is probably because you're scaling the desktop. Have you tried Plasma? Apparently that can deal with the problem now: https://www.reddit.com/r/gnome/comments … apps_with/

I installed KDE plasma, and freeoffice looks blurry there too.

Is this KDE-only? It's just that I've been using Hyprland since 20-02-2024, and don't want to switch to DE if it's possible.

How long did that take me to find out?

I know the force_zero_scaling option, and I use it with steam in conjuction with GDK_SCALE to make it look crisp. But, most other apps don't respect such an environment variables.
