< p > i’ ve used < a href = "https://signal.org/" > Signal< / a > 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 < code > xwayland< / code > hoops.< / p >
< p > today, i finally broke down and went looking for a fix. it turns out Signal’ s electron app has < a href = "https://www.fosskers.ca/en/blog/wayland#org3ddb5b" > supported wayland since 2021< / a > . to get this to work with my launcher in Arch Linux, i had to run with the following options: < code > --enable-features=UseOzonePlatform --ozone-platform=wayland< / code > .< / p >
