Are you on X or Wayland? (lemmy.one)

If not on Wayland, what's stopping you?

X because when I try selecting Wayland from sddm the screen goes black and then takes me back to sddm. I'm on manjaro and I've done no configuration and I've not attempted to install Wayland I just assume because it's an option in my drop down that it's been installed.

@Fizz @bacteriostat @kde On my arch install, I had to install plasma-wayland-session to make that option work.

I had plasma-wayland-session already installed. It turns out I needed to add nvidia-drm to the kernal params and forced GBM backend. After that it seems to be working. I am a wayland man now!
