Additional information

The issue is the same if I remove -drun-use-desktop-cache

I use NixOS on unstable branch (NixOS/nixpkgs@7e7c39e) and hyprland v0.41.2 (which also means I use Wayland, I don't know why am I required to say that I don't even when wiki page says you support Wayland)

Using wayland display server protocol

• No, I don't use the wayland display server protocol

I've checked if the issue exists in the latest stable release

• Yes, I have checked the problem exists in the latest stable version

Also tried to build from source on 8eb8ff3 and it didn't help as well.

EDIT: Though build from next also takes a second to start even if I just use rofi -show drun -no-config (but if I enable icons, it starts even longer)

@PerchunPak Which version of rofi was your original report for? (rofi -version)

Not sure it is related to the slowdown but there are two packages in nixpkgs, one with wayland support from the fork: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/tree/master/pkgs/applications/misc/rofi

If you were using mainline rofi for both of your tests, maybe try also with the wayland version with timing reports as well.

[PerchunPak]

oh yeah, rofi-wayland works. sorry for the confusion

Where does it say this? this should be fixed then.

Sorry for being unclear, where in the wiki does it say we support wayland?

The question in the bug report is there as it helps pin-point problems and redirect people to the right issue tracker.

[PerchunPak]

Yes, something like "current release doesn't support wayland, so you should use the fork" would guide me in the right direction

[DaveDavenport]

like the current text on the wiki?

A pull request was opened to allow Rofi to work under Wayland with Sway and some other window managers. If you are are interested, check out the fork that was spun off from the PR and send your feedback there.

can you please point out where?

[PerchunPak]

Exactly here, changing it to would guide me in the right direction, because for some reason I didn't check linked PR and assumed it was merged

A pull request was opened to allow Rofi to work under Wayland with Sway and some other window managers, but it wasn't merged. If you need proper Wayland support, check out the fork that was spun off from the PR and send your feedback there.

(Changed parts are bold)

You can also ignore this as my skill issue, since I didn't know that PR was closed until now

[DaveDavenport]

Thanks, changed the text.
