How to use VSCodium with Wayland?

[jaroshevskii]

If you run vscodium from a terminal with --ozone-platform=auto flag. Everything works fine (only the icon is not displayed).

The problem is how to make vscodium automatically read this flag. In normal VSCode, I could just specify the flag in code-flags.conf (in my case, it's in ~/.config folder). For some reason this doesn't work for VSCodium or I'm dumb somewhere.

AFAIR VSCode does not support configs in ~/.config, /etc or any location excluding VSC src dir maybe. So we're forced to tune .desktop for GUI and use alias for cli.

Hi @jaroshevskii you can use a solution like this, override the original .desktop for your user.

Thanks for the advice. I will look into this method

Tuning the .desktop with --ozone-platform-hint=auto works for me.

Just ran into this issue and auto didn't work for me, but --ozone-platform-hint=wayland did.

In normal VSCode, I could just specify the flag in code-flags.conf

This config file seems to be specific to "Code - OSS" on ArchLinux, and is read by a wrapper script. In that code package, /usr/bin/code is a shell script which reads code-flags.conf and electronNN-flags.conf, then execs the real electron binary with those flags.
