Hey folks,
First of all thanks a ton for the amazing work! I’ve been using EndeavourOS for years now and this is by far the most polished and stable Arch-based distro :).
Today I’ve installed the OS from scratch and was able to login once. After adding some packages + SSH keys did some reboot and then - boom - can’t login anymore with Wayland. It works fine though with X11…
Any idea?

I’m guessing nouveau is default here because you want to use Wayland, correct?
Also, do you know if you were using the proprietary nvidia driver before or was the previous installation also using nouveau?
I’ve just b0rked my install trying to use the nvidia-inst… Boot was stuck after some module loading and no way to get a terminal. I will install my old xfce friend again since this machine is my work laptop 
looks like hybrid graphics and relatively new nvidia decent GPU could be still not fully supported by nouveau:
NV177 (GA107) GeForce RTX 3050
To be able to use full functionality you will need propritary Nvidia drivers
You could just use Cinnamon. You get the best of KDE (meaning Cinnamon has many features similar to KDE) without all the mess of the current frequency of updates.
And if you like Dolphin, you can install it by itself.
Exactly what packages did you install when it was working.
You should have used the nvidia option when using the online installer on the live ISO. Then it will install the nvidia drivers during the install.
Hi, that’s what I did :).
I just saw that nouveau was being used so either you installed with default menu or removed nvidia after? There are no nvidia drivers shown in the above hardware output.
Yeah - honestly I can’t recall anymore, I installed the OS several times (somehow using btrfs was not letting me boot).
I’ll give it another try when I’ll not be in a rush (work laptop). For now on, I’m very happy with XFCE and it works like a charm :).
Thanks a ton!
N.B.: Maybe closing this thread makes sense.
If you had Kde working fine on X11 then you probably eventually could get it working on Wayland also but it takes time, knowledge, perseverance, trial & error, research and a bit of luck sometimes. 
Having a hybrid laptop with nvidia makes a bit more to deal with. I’m not that familiar with Clevo but I know they have some good hardware too. If you are happy with Xfce for now just go with it for now and maybe in the future as you gain more knowledge about the hardware you have and how it works on linux you’ll try Kde Wayland again. Also Cinnamon has Wayland (Experimental). I am using it on an HP laptop without issue but again i don’t use any hybrid systems.
