I am aware of the switches you can pass to each app to make it use native wayland, but is there any way to do it globally?

      Is there a noticeable benefit to those apps running natively on Wayland vs running through xWayland?

        I have not checked this, but as far as I know

        • performance: apps are running on a subset of XOrg and xWayland translates it to Wayland
        • RAM: if you have no XWayland apps anymore you save RAM
        • features: some apps may have more features on XOrg, some may have more on Wayland. OBS on XWayland can record keystrokes, QGis on XWayland has not broken dockable toolbars.
