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.

      Yes, you get the usual Wayland benefits and tighter integration with the system. However certain applicants can be a little unstable when doing certain actions.
