Wayland Compatibility Flags

A list of compatibility flags which can be used with various software to make it run natively on Wayland. Recommended for PopOS 24.04 with COSMIC.

For Qt5 applications

QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME=qt5ct
QT_IM_MODULE=ibus
QT_AUTO_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTOR=1
QT_QPA_PLATFORM=wayland

For JBR applications (IDEA etc.)

-Dawt.toolkit.name=WLToolkit
-Dsun.java2d.vulkan=true
-Dsun.java2d.uiScale.enabled=false

For Chromium/Electron applications

--enable-features=UseOzonePlatform,WaylandWindowDecorations 
--ozone-platform=wayland

Minecraft

Download the latest version of GLFW Wayland
Download a Minecraft launcher of your choice. I recommend MultiMC
Download WayGL if you're on Fabric
Use Sinytra Connector when you're on Forge
Set up a Minecraft instance (at least 1.13 because LWJGL3 is required)
Configure custom JVM arguments: -Dorg.lwjgl.glfw.libname=path/to/the/patched/glfw/binary.so
