Wayland By Default in 2026.1 EAP (blog.jetbrains.com)

Starting from version 2026.1, IntelliJ-based IDEs will run natively on Wayland in supported desktop configurations. This follows Wayland’s ascendance to the position of primary display server across contemporary Linux distributions.

By making this change in our EAP releases first, we hope to be able to give more Linux users the opportunity to try the native Wayland mode in their IDE, gather their feedback, and prepare more comprehensively for the general rollout in one of the upcoming major versions.

I'm already using it for months now and it works fine for me. The lack of window positioning in Wayland is a pity, though. That's the biggest Wayland flaw for me.

What do you mean by window positioning?

[–] Mihies@programming.dev 1 points 3 days ago

Wayland client can't decide on which screen and where window should appear AFAIK.
