Solaar will run under Wayland but some parts of Solaar rules will not work.
For more information see [the rules page](https://pwr-solaar.github.io/Solaar/rules).
Solaar needs a library to interact with the system tray.
The library that provides this interaction depends on the distribution and window system.
If ayatana appindicator is available then it is best to have this library installed,
e.g., by installing `libayatana-appindicator` or `gir1.2-ayatanaappindicator3-0.1` or similar,
depending on distribution.
Otherwise appindicator can sometimes be used,
e.g., by installing `libappindicator-gtk3` or `gir1.2-appindicator3-0.1` or similar,
depending on distribution.
If desktop notifications bindings are also installed
(`gir1.2-notify-0.7` for Debian/Ubuntu),
you will also see desktop notifications when devices come online/go offline.
For GNOME Shell/Budgie Desktop/KDE/XFCE support, you also need to have
`gir1.2-ayatanaappindicator3-0.1` installed in Debian/Ubuntu. Although it is
recommended to install and use `gir1.2-ayatanaappindicator3-0.1` if it is
available, you can also use `gir1.2-appindicator3-0.1` if necessary (e.g.,
for Unity in Ubuntu).
