It is already opt-in as default

If you install electrum wallet and the transaction was broadcasted from the wallet, the transaction is already RBF because since the latest version of the wallet the feature is on default. So you don’t need to activate any RBF just make your transaction.

But if the transaction has been broadcasted from another wallet without RBF enabled and you import the wallet into electrum there is no way to turn a non RBF transaction to a RBF transaction. But can still double spend the said transaction since most nodes now are full RBF enabled.

Zaguru12 is right. If you make a transaction on Electrum, the transaction will support RBF. But not on the latest version but since version 4.4.0 or so which was released on April 18, 2023. It was released not long after full RBF was implemented.

But if the transaction has been broadcasted from another wallet without RBF enabled and you import the wallet into electrum there is no way to turn a non RBF transaction to a RBF transaction. But can still double spend the said transaction since most nodes now are full RBF enabled.

If it is noncustodial wallet, I do not know why people still use such outdated wallets. Many bitcoin wallet are having the RBF features.

RBF is opt-in and turn on with default settings in latest version of Electrum wallet. You don't need to turn it on (activate it) because the software does it for you but if you're careful, you can check that option and see it is ON or OFF.

Issues with RBF no longer being toggleable since Electrum 4.4 version.
Set the RBF flat to all transactions, and remove the 'use_rbf'

In Preference, there is no information on RBF but you can check it with your transaction.

You can try to send your bitcoin in a wallet from one address to another address that are all your addresses. Click Pay, then Preview, you will see Replace by Fee: True.
True means your transaction is RBF and you can Bump Fee later.
