I am aware of the switches you can pass to each app to make it use native wayland, but is there any way to do it globally?

    Depends on your distribution. Arch packages some electron apps in a way, where they can accept their own flags through a dedicated file. For others, it’s just a plain ‘electron-flags.conf’ in your ~/.config

    I would recommend visiting either the arch wiki, or tour distributions equivalent for details

    Keep in mind that this does not apply to CEF apps, as that’s an entirely different framework

    For electron, if ELECTRON_OZONE_PLATFORM_HINT and electron-flags.conf don’t work, you can also add --ozone-platform-hint=wayland to the end of Exec in each .desktop file (also works on Chromium, but not CEF AFAIK).

    There’s also --ozone-platform-hint=auto if you find yourself switching between X11 and Wayland.
