Expected Behavior

As of today, Electron applications do not support/enable Wayland out of the box, but rather run under XWayland. Please support Wayland by default in Electron on Linux. Are there any blocker issues to enable Wayland by default?

For example, I had a discussion with RStudio developers who decided to wait enabling Wayland by default until Wayland is supported by default out-of-the-box in Electron. rstudio/rstudio#11962 (comment)
