i was thinking the same thing and remembered that Linux users could use https://beta.gamepadviewer.com/ instead for now
that is
Unfortunately the main thing I use the plugin for is my keyboard, which is nonstandard.
I have switched to using the package version of OBS though, so hopefully I can get the plugin working right after I figure out this websocket nonsense so my hotkeys actually function correctly...

Pivoting my question from an updated Flatpak to asking if there's any known workaround for Wayland. Like is there anything I can install to get X11 keyboard inputs at least?

which package did you use cos both of them are do the same thing for me currently using bazzite my self but also used Nobara, had the same uses

for hotkeys aswell have you trying to get this to work, currently only work around ive found so far

Stumbled upon the 5.1.0 version and 5.0.5/5.0.6 where the Logitech G502 mouse was given an overlay (even if mine is a lightspeed I can make it work). I found the updated version for G7 and G8 buttons as mentioned and these are bound to numbers 1 and 2 on the keyboard in my experience.

And there was mention that this was only really made for a five button mouse? It's not hard to make the buttons light up otherwise in any other fashion, but there's a few buttons that Logitech has them bound to which makes it hard to detach from.

G7 and G8 and initially DPI up and down buttons and I've been trying to figure out a way to get these to reflect the button presses set on the mouse as there is no code attached to these buttons.

Is there a way that I can open up and accesses these buttons to work? I considered adding a few more definitions in the uiohook.h file for the extra mouse buttons, but haven't been stuck in this problem long enough.

I am considering on making the DPI shift button show up where the unlock wheel button is for ease if I can figure out how the buttons are set.

I was able to get hotkeys working via the websocket feature and KDE Plasma's Shortcuts system, bridged by obs-cli.
However, I was unable to get the input overlay plugin to do any more than display a static image, because it simply has no Wayland support at this time.
I might've been willing to put up with this loss and wait for the necessary backend rewrite but I've run into other issues and gripes with Bazzite that have pushed me back into the search for a suitable distro. I'm going to see if I can get one that still supports X11 but also doesn't cause OBS to drop a third of its frames whenever a game is GPU-intensive. Wish me luck.

i think its to do with Linux itself not the plugins or obs, due to hotkeys and plugin issues ive came across i fix half of 75% of my issues but with the overlay stuff it dosnt even work with NohBoard overlay app its a shame

the big problem is having linux with Wayland ive seen so many topics online about this and their been a fix but since the current updates still dosnt work now again, also seen topics that talk about the OBS team needs to update the Linux version to get hotkeys and overlays to work correctly too

Ive also run Bazzite and i dont have any issues of dropping fps in games or obs too, ill share a screenshot of stats on obs after doing a stream if ya like

Bad news, everyone. X11/Wayland is THE determining factor in performance and process prioritization.
Looks like I'm going to have to go without my input displays for the first time in several years, until Wayland support can be implemented. Unless maybe there's some way to get xkb inputs to the plugin via XWayland while still capturing video? If anyone knows if that's possible, please let me know.
