wayland-docker-gui-window-passthrough.md
Goal
Run vscode inside docker container and get vscode window passthrough to a wayland host.
About
From the initial search, I found few examples but all of them were for xserver and not for wayland. So I decided to give it a try to see if I can get it working on wayland and these are my findings.
