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?

Do you mean Electron apps? I didn't even know you could force them to use Wayland.

Is it bad if they use xwayland?

Define bad.

If you can run native in wayland, run in native wayland. Your performance will be better, and if you need scaling, scaling is considerably better too

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
