Wayland

A display server protocol that aims to replace X11.

Chromium based applications​

  • add --ozone-platform-hint=auto to use wayland if possible
    • or set environment.sessionVariables.NIXOS_OZONE_WL = "1"; for NixOS
  • add --enable-wayland-ime to use fcitx (code, spotify, etc)

Troubleshooting​

  • use xlsclients to list applications running on xwayland (x11 compatibility layer)
  • use wev to log input events (nix-env -iA nixos.wev)
