Describe the solution you'd like A clear and concise description of what you want to happen.

in the future if you could work on adding wayland support that would be awesome as the major desktops are moving to wayland or already have like kde plasma, gnome and new desktops like cosmic by system76 will be wayland only

My launcher launches natively under Wayland (I can see this through hyprctl activewindow), but after a few seconds the application crashes with the error [262142:0510/130741.335503:ERROR:wayland_event_watcher.cc(68)] Fatal Wayland communication error: Connection reset by peer. I don't know what the reason is :(

Edit: There may be a problem with the window manager I'm using

For me it might be because im using the aur version and maybe the person who maintains it made it so it uses x11/xwayland because of the problems that occur on wayland, im using kde plasma 6.0.4 wayland

I'll test the native package

Edit: Its still using x11 on the .zip i grabbed from the release

Installed from AUR as well. Looks like it's an environment variable issue.

Also, surprisingly, the application itself began to work without crashes, but still with strong lags (electron problem, I think, as usual) with high CPU load. With a constant load on one core, this application warms up my 5800x from 30 degrees to almost 70

Yikes lol, well electron things :>

If this is using a newish version of electron like 29 or 30 then using wayland shouldn't be that big of a problem, i force wayland on discord and it has no issues but there seems to be some problems so guess not for now, its whatever, the app is working properly and that's all that matters for me atleast

As far as I know, Electron supports Wayland since version 12, but to enable support, you need to use launch parameters (or configuration files). For version 28 and higher, environment variables are required
