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.

I've had this same issue on Gentoo and now on Alpine, both with plasma 6 (Wayland). Pipewire and plasma 6 seem to be working as intended other than that... Any help would be appreciated!

E: the issue is plasma 6 exclusive, I have hyprland installed along side it and screensharing works just fine there

On gentoo, no, but I forgot to mention in the post that the issue is plasma 6 exclusive, as I have both it and hyprland installed and screensharing works fine on hyprland, so idk.

I'm pretty sure I had to enable the screencast use flag to get it to work for me.
