Hello, I'm facing some rather annoying issues with running KDE6 on Wayland. Despite consulting the Arch Wiki and various online resources, I haven't been able to get it working. X11 works fine, so I've been sticking with X exclusively due to my limited experience with desktop Linux and troubleshooting.
For context, my setup includes an AMD 7950x with Unraid as the main OS. My daily desktop runs on a mainline Arch VM with an RTX 3070ti and a dedicated USB controller card passed through. This setup has been stable for months, serving my gaming and media needs.
When attempting a Wayland session, I select it, observe a brief black screen flash, and then return to the login prompt. This issue persisted through upgrades and tests on different distributions like Manjaro and Endeavor. I've also tried multiple Wayland compositors, all with the same outcome.
The only success I've had with Wayland was on Garuda, which defaults to Wayland. I'm keen on using Wayland due to its evolving features, especially since it's essential for running Waydroid.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. While my use case may be unique, Waydroid is crucial for specific Android apps vital to my workflow.
Thanks in advance!
I already own the 3070ti because it was just what I had before switching to Linux. It works great and I'm not keen on trying to swap cards until I can afford one that is a reasonably large step up. Plus when I do upgrade I plan making this one a dedicated transcoding\ai card so I don't want to sell it. I do intend on never buying nVidia ever again after living through tons of driver bs while my other AMD system is a very smooth experience. Generally it seems to me the idea of selling the card and buying another when it's not needed is sorta throwing the baby out with the bathwater kind of situation.
