JetBrains confirmed today, February 6, 2026, that its IntelliJ IDEs will gain native Wayland support, starting with the upcoming 2026.1 release. This transition will move the integrated development environments from X11 to native Wayland, a change expected to "improve scaling and performance for Linux developers." The move addresses a long-standing request from the Linux development community, aiming to provide a more modern and integrated experience on Wayland-based desktop environments.
