[edit | edit source]Display via the Wayland composer is done by setting the environment variable:
GDK_BACKEND=wayland[1]
In Linux, the application toolkit autodetects for display via the X Server or Wayland composer, so there is no need to explicitly set it.
Qt
[edit | edit source]Display via the Wayland composer is done by setting the environment variable:
QT_QPA_PLATFORM=wayland[2]
Although it is possible to switch the display via GTK 3, the application will not work via Wayland.
Supported software
[edit | edit source]The programs are listed with official English names. Optional in parentheses the name of the program (command) being called.
"Y/N" is that it is functional under the official implementation of Wayland via the Weston composer and without XWayland turned on.
