+If Plugins report missing packages, you can install them with pip::

+   pip install PACKAGENAME

+QGis may report lacking features due to running as a Wayland session. To force X11 (XWayland) you can add ``env QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb`` to the ``Exec=`` line. If you installed the app on your main system, copy the entry to your user directory first, if you are using Toolbox/Distrobox or already have this entry, skip this step::
+
+   sudo cp /usr/share/applications/org.qgis.qgis.desktop ~/.local/share/applications/

+To add the X11 environment variable automatically::

+   sed -i 's/^Exec=/Exec=env QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb /' ~/.local/share/applications/org.qgis.qgis.desktop
