==== Electron and Chromium ====

Ozone Wayland support in [[Chromium]] and [[Electron]] based applications (which allow these applications to run on Wayland native instead of Xwayland) can be enabled by setting the environment variable "<code>NIXOS_OWONE_WL</code>" with <code>NIXOS_OZONE_WL=1</code>

===== Example =====

{{File|3=environment.sessionVariables.NIXOS_OZONE_WL = "1";|name=/etc/nixos/configuration.nix|lang=nix}}

~~<syntaxhighlight lang="nix">~~

* [[Xorg]]

~~environment.sessionVariables.NIXOS_OZONE_WL = "1";~~
