I can't dynamically resize my desktop to any arbitrary resolution in Wayland, whereas under X11+Nvidia it's just "nvidia-settings --assign CurrentMetaMode=..."

This is mandatory for me as I'm constantly connecting into my workstation from other devices via Moonlight or Chrome Remote Desktop and I want the streaming resolution to match the resolution of my client.

I use "wlr-randr"

    swaymsg -- output eDP-1 mode --custom 1900x725

Setting arbitrary custom resolutions on the fly works fine on Wayland for me.

surprisingly lacking in Gnome

I've used https://github.com/maxwellainatchi/gnome-randr-rust for this for Sunshine sessions in Gnome.

Gnome considers features a bug, so not at all surprising.
