<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>
