I don't typically run wayland anywhere, but I was interested in this project and installed wayland and weston from my package manager. However, it seems my package manager's version of weston (v4.0.0) is too old(?) because I get the Go error: "wayland: no xdg_wm_base available". Probably from [here](https://git.sr.ht/~eliasnaur/gio/tree/master/ui/app/os_wayland.go#L1051).
Do you have any tips? Tried googling various terms, but nothing seemed relevant.
