Apps not detecting wayland after rebase (bazzite-dx)
Hi, I was running on bazzite-dx-nvidia-open and since it appears that image was renamed to bazzite-dx-nvidia I performed a rebase to get on the newest release. However, after doing so many of my apps appear to be launching in X11 mode instead of Wayland by default. I noticed initially because the scaling seemed off, but confirmed by checking the Kwin debug console. I was able to fix it for Brave by editing its flags, and VSCode by setting ELECTRON_OZONE_PLATFORM_HINT=wayland in /etc/environment, but Steam is still launching with X11 along with some other apps and I haven't found a fix that could resolve this issue generically. Any ideas?

Okay, in case anyone else comes across this post I think the fix is indeed to do what Sparda said above BUT you need to do a reboot as well after changing the setting. After a reboot with the setting changed I'm seeing the proper behavior from Steam and other apps again.

I should also note that rolling back to my previous image didn't appear to resolve the issue either, but I don't recall making any other system changes prior to the initial rebase.
this happened to me and i just selected 'Apply scaling themselves' in display configuration and it solved the issue
don't know if this the fix you are looking for
It's a good thought, but in my case that lead to the apps in question not being scaled at all, and I'm fairly certain they were scaling properly before I did the rebase.
Yeah, my apps were scaled fine yesterday, i use bazzite dx too
Today all my apps like brave and steam were blurry without me changing or updaring anything, i think it was an automatic update from bazzite dx since it installed handheld daemon without noticing me
I was told that bazzite dx is based on deck images, maybe it has something to do with the scaling on desktop too.
