## FAQ
### Picture-in-Picture gets under windows on Linux/Wayland
Since Wayland protocol doesn't support to set windows always on top, there're no possible way to do it without a Window-Manager trick.
* If you're using KWin Windows Manager (Default Windows Manager of KDE Desktop Environment), you can set a new window rule to keep on top.
* If you're using Ubuntu or based distro, you can look up [this extension](https://github.com/Rafostar/gnome-shell-extension-pip-on-top) to get working.
### Creating Desktop Shortcut on Linux with Wayland Support
```
NEWFLOW_FLAGS="--enable-features=UseOzonePlatform --ozone-platform=wayland" ./scripts/install-desktop-file
```
