From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

You can set MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 to have it today!

How do you make it permanent though?
You can always add the env var in /etc/profile, though there are likely more fine grained approaches (like editing the firefox.desktop file) that won't set vars for everything.
That's described in the linked article. You can add it to the environment variables in the bash profile, but I put it in the KDE environment variables in
$HOME/.config/plasma-workspace/env/.What do you mean?
Also, if using the flatpak version, you can use flatseal to give it access to that variable under "Environment" or use
flatpak override --env=MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 org.mozilla.firefoxYou could do that years ago. I've been using Wayland for 1+year and its solid
Yes, but you can also do it today if you didn't do it years ago :)
