+## Adding permanent custom flags to the IDE
+If you need to always start the IDE with custom arguments then the best way to do this is to use `flatpak override`.
+For example:
+``` sh
+flatpak override --user --env=CUSTOM_IDE_FLAGS="--log-level=warn" cc.arduino.IDE2
+```
+This is also useful if you want to enable electron's (potentially experimental) wayland support:
+``` sh
+flatpak override --user --socket=wayland cc.arduino.IDE2
+flatpak override --user --env=CUSTOM_IDE_FLAGS="--enable-features=UseOzonePlatform --ozone-platform=wayland" cc.arduino.IDE2
+```
+It is important to note that if you are experiencing issues with the IDE you MUST disable any custom flags you have before submitting a bug report here or on the IDE's bug tracker as this functionality is not officially supported.
