Wayland (e.g. for use on XWayland) launch Alacritty like this:
`env WAYLAND_DISPLAY= alacritty`

## Wayland
Wayland support is available, but not everything works as expected. Many people
have found a better experience using XWayland which can be achieved launching
Alacritty with the `WAYLAND_DISPLAY` environment variable cleared:
```sh
env WAYLAND_DISPLAY= alacritty
```
If you're interested in seeing our Wayland support improve, please head over to
the [Wayland meta issue] on the _winit_ project to see how you may contribute.
