All you need is a `.conf` file in your `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME` folder (usually `$HOME/.config`), or whatever the application read it (if capable) with the following content:
```bash
--enable-features=UseOzonePlatform
--enable-features=UseOzonePlatform,WaylandWindowDecorations
--ozone-platform=wayland
--enable-features=WaylandWindowDecorations
```
There are applications that doesn't read the `.conf` file, so you need to update the `.desktop` file, to avoid changes being overwritten, you can copy the `.desktop` file to your `$XDG_DATA_HOME/applications` (usually `$HOME/.local/share/applications`) folder, and update the `Exec` line with the following content:
```bash
Exec=/usr/bin/executable --enable-features=UseOzonePlatform --ozone-platform=wayland --enable-features=WaylandWindowDecorations %U
Exec=/usr/bin/executable --enable-features=UseOzonePlatform,WaylandWindowDecorations --ozone-platform=wayland

At this point, Steam doesn't support Wayland and you will have rendering issues when scrolling the webviews inside the app, unless you turn off hardware acceleration for the webviews rendering and then it will work fine.

### Visual Studio Code
I use the [visual-studio-code-insiders-bin](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/visual-studio-code-insiders-bin) package, and it reads the configuration from `$HOME/.config/code-flags.conf`, so you can add the same content as for the Electron apps. I decided to add this app here separately because as far as I know, the `code` app from the official repositories doesn't work with Wayland.
