i've used [Signal][signal] as my preferred messaging app since around 2015. for a long time, i had the desktop application, and used it often to text directly from my laptop. since switching to Wayland, years ago now, i have simply lived without it: the desktop app didn't have native wayland support, and i was unwilling to jump through `xwayland` hoops.
today, i finally broke down and went looking for a fix. it turns out Signal's electron app has [supported wayland since 2021][signal-wayland]. to get this to work with my launcher in Arch Linux, i had to run with the following options: `--enable-features=UseOzonePlatform --ozone-platform=wayland`.
