# Never use more than one --enable-features and --disable-features as it can overwrite the previous.
# This was built using Arch Linux (Wayland) if some flags / features are not compatible with other OS, up to whoever uses, to remove them.

# There are two threads that if ever get implemented into vscode, could bring improvements to the usage experience.

# GPU
# There are some slowdowns currently, since WebGPU are not yet fully implemented into vscode.
# There are bugs still, that may be affected by various flags. 
# When selecting text, it seemed somewhat sluggish, not responsive.
# WaylandWindowDecorations cause slowdown, SkiaGraphite break webgpu, RawDraw cause UI to break on 1.98
