[Linux] Windsurf defaults to XWayland instead of native Wayland

[Ranteck]

Environment

• OS: CachyOS (Arch-based)
• Kernel: 6.19.11-1-cachyos
• Compositor: Niri (Wayland)
• Windsurf version: 1.108.2
• Electron: 39

Problem

The /usr/bin/windsurf launcher script and .desktop file use --ozone-platform-hint=auto, which causes Electron to choose XWayland even when a Wayland session is active (WAYLAND_DISPLAY=wayland-1).

This can be confirmed by checking the environment of the main Windsurf process:

ELECTRON_OZONE_PLATFORM_HINT=auto
WAYLAND_DISPLAY=wayland-1
DISPLAY=:0   ← running under XWayland

And verifying it has X11 windows registered:

xwininfo -root -tree | grep -i windsurf  # returns results → XWayland

Workaround

Set --ozone-platform-hint=wayland in ~/.config/windsurf-flags.conf, or set ELECTRON_OZONE_PLATFORM_HINT=wayland in ~/.config/environment.d/.

After applying the workaround:

ELECTRON_OZONE_PLATFORM_HINT=wayland
WAYLAND_DISPLAY=wayland-1
# no X11 windows registered → native Wayland

Expected behavior

When XDG_SESSION_TYPE=wayland, Windsurf should default to native Wayland. VS Code has the same open issue for reference: microsoft/vscode#207033.
