Config

Here are few config options need to be set, to make apps run flawlessly.

Google Chrome

~/.config/chrome-flags.conf

--ozone-platform-hint=wayland
--enable-wayland-ime
--use-angle=opengl

VS Code

If you need to enable fcitx5:

~/.config/code-flags.conf

--ozone-platform-hint=wayland
--enable-wayland-ime
--use-angle=opengl

If it takes long time to launch, try add --disable-gpu or just use x11:

--ozone-platform-hint=x11
--gtk-version=4

SDDM

If you are using hybrid card (Intel+Nvidia), sddm might not showing on the external screen when you using HDMI, which can be solved by the following conifg:

# /usr/share/sddm/scripts/Xsetup
xrandr --setprovideroutputsource modesetting NVIDIA-0

/etc/sddm.conf

[General]
Numlock=on

Dark Theme

Install flat-remix-gtk theme or any you want.

Set as the current theme and prefer-dark preference:

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface gtk-theme Flat-Remix-GTK-Blue-Darkest
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface color-scheme prefer-dark
