How I got Wayland, Vulkan, and hardware acceleration working with Figma on Fedora 39.

Today, we’ve got a wide array of native applications built with solutions like Electron, Tauri, Capacitor, and many more. While these are great solutions, sometimes configuration can be tricky and the applications we create can become somewhat bloated in terms of memory usage.
