Hi guys, when running tauri dev I am able to launch the app using native wayland mode. But when I run tauri build, the app runs in xwayland mode, which makes it stutter a bit. I tried using GDK_BACKEND=wayland pnpm tauri build but the app image still runs under xwayland.

I assume you tried the appimage? The appimage bundler's gtk plugin (not created by us) sets that same env var but to x11 because (it will overwrite your env var). They do this because gtk used to crash in appimages on wayland.
"used to crash" -> We couldn't reproduce this yet but we don't want to disable it without being sure about it either so it's kinda in a limbo
Or well, appimages are already quite unstable with webkitgtk we may as well try it out for a wider userbase
Alrighty, i updated it. If you delete ~/.cache/tauri/linuxdeploy-plugin-gtk.sh and try tauri build again it should take effect (tauri should normally overwrite the plugin script if it changed but i wanna be sure here)

It's working well now. Thank you Fabian! Is there a configuration server where these settings are being hosted for the build process, or how did you fix this?

The bundler currently pulls the master branch from here https://github.com/tauri-apps/linuxdeploy-plugin-gtk
Bit of a concern security wise but because the appimage bundler is quite unstable having quick access to the plugins proofed to be beneficial though i still plan to either lock it to commits or even inline it into the bundler directly at some point
