## Force apps to use Wayland
A lot of apps will use Wayland by default. Chromium (and other browsers based on
it or electron) don't. You need to pass
`--enable-features=UseOzonePlatform --ozone-platform=wayland` to them or use
`.conf` files where possible. Chromium-based browsers also should have a toggle
in `chrome://flags`. Search for _"ozone"_ and select Wayland.
A lot of apps will use Wayland by default.
For most electron apps, you should put the above in
`~/.config/electron-flags.conf`. VSCode is known to not work with that though.
Chromium-based browsers and Electron based apps (like VS Code) don't.
You need to start them with the flag `--enable-features=UseOzonePlatform --ozone-platform=wayland`
or use `.conf` files where possible.
For most electron apps, it is sufficient to put `--enable-features=UseOzonePlatform --ozone-platform=wayland`
in `~/.config/electron-flags.conf`.
VS Code is known to not work with that though.
The solution is to create `~/.config/code-flags.conf`, and put the flag there.
This will also work with VS Codium (with `~/.config/codium-flags.conf`).
Chromium-based browsers should have a toggle in `chrome://flags`.
Search for _"ozone"_ and select Wayland.
A few more environment variables for forcing Wayland mode are documented
[here](../../Configuring/Environment-variables).
