    The only flag I had to set was one for Firefox, and that has become enabled by default these days. XWayland solves all of the difficult mess as far as I can tell, including dealing with Electron applications.

    I suppose the difficulty of migration depends on how complex your setup, but for most distros, switching to Wayland is no more difficult than selecting it in a dropdown on the login screen and installing a different screen recorder (because those are often written specifically for X.org or Wayland’s APIs, and rarely for both).

      I had to set a ton more. Without the ozone flags my electron apps flicker and have this sync problem that appears to eat letters while I type them. Different electron apps use different configuration files, it’s a mess.

      I wouldn’t consider my setup to be complex enough for the amount of trouble I had to make the system work under Wayland.

      I’m using an Nvidia GPU, I’m sure things would be more streamlined if I had something else.
