From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

How to force all chromium apps to use wayland, instead of xwayland by default? (self.linux)

I am aware of the switches you can pass to each app to make it use native wayland, but is there any way to do it globally?

Depends on your distribution. Arch packages some electron apps in a way, where they can accept their own flags through a dedicated file. For others, it’s just a plain electron-flags.conf in your ~/.config

I would recommend visiting either the arch wiki, or tour distributions equivalent for details

Keep in mind that this does not apply to CEF apps, as that’s an entirely different framework
