I’ve recently heard that wayland is working well on KDE Plasma and wanted to enable it. First, I checked what was running on my KDE
echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE
x11
Turns out I was running x11 still. I’ve tried finding guides/instructions on how to make the switch but wasn’t unable to find a clear one. Can any point me to the resources/guides regarding making this switch? I want to be able to switch back seamlessly if Wayland is not working out for me.
Also, I am using lightdm as my Desktop Manager. Do I need to change DM’s for Wayland to work?
Thanks, @dalto for your help. It worked. I was able to use wayland but the barrier app which I use for keyboard and mouse isn’t working. Until I get it to work, I am going back to x11. Also, I wasn’t able to log out successfully from the wayland session and I had to shutdown manually (using the power button).
I also had those issues when switching between wayland and X11 without rebooting. When using wayland as first login session (via autologin or manual login) those issues disappeared.
