No option for wayland sessions
The gnome option is an x11 session by the way
for those who want specs https://0x0.st/oxey.txt
I don’t use GNOME myself, but I guess since Wayland is the default in GNOME that it is also just referred to as GNOME when selected. X11 is then the alternative.
For plasma you need to install plasma-wayland-session
That is not Gnome on wayland though, its still x11
i have done that already and it doesnt show up
So you have two X11s to choose from? Strange …
why do you have both gnome and plasma on the same system? that’s a recipe for disaster

nah they work fine, only problem is having to change themes every time i switch
Have you rebooted?
yeah
To enable the choice of Wayland, make sure the comment is on the following line in /etc/gdm/custom.conf:
#WaylandEnable=false
Alternatively, you may be able to change the line to:
WaylandEnable=true
Do you use Nvidia?
Posting some system infos might help…

Gnome should be running Wayland by default. Please provide install logs/journal logs so we can see what went wrong on install or what you removed too get there.
yeah i use nvidia, changed main post to have list of specs
I have that commented so ill see if anything changes if i make it true
What does
echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE
say when you log in to Gnome session?
gaming123@gaming-machine ~ echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE
x11
gaming123@gaming-machine ~
Can you try starting a Wayland session manually?
gnome-shell --wayland

had to do it from tty, its not convenient but it works
At least we know now that you can run GNOME on Wayland.
Why it doesn’t show as an option in the login screen?
I don’t really know.
Does it have to do with Nvidia?
I don’t have Nvidia graphics. I believe there are some forum mates who run GNOME-Wayland with Nvidia. They might be able to shed some more light on this.
Could you post:
cat /lib/udev/rules.d/61-gdm.rules
?
