I’m using Manjaro KDE Plasma with X11 and I’d like to switch to Wayland. However, when I choose “wayland” in the SDDM login manager and log in, the screen just goes black and then back to the login manager. Only X11 works. How can I debug what is going wrong? I have not configured anything special.…

Thanks. It kind of works. I do get some frequent flickering and cursor issues. I have a few questions: Is it expected to be better with other (free) drivers? Do I need the same settings (mkinitcpio, grub parameters) for other drivers, too? Does GPU performance decrease with other drivers? The free …

I have AMD RX, and I dont have the option to switch X11 to wayland, a newer installation has this option Can I have this option ?

I think you have to install the plasma-wayland-session package for the option to show up(it got included in the default install recently thats but I think it was removed again ).

THAT’S the package I was looking for! :pensive: :+1:t4:

sudo nano /etc/sddm.conf [Autologin] User= Session=plasmawayland.desktop this is how I do it on kde

Feeling brave, I just tried it. Nope. The mouse does not work. I use the Nouveau driver, btw. So, back to x11 for me.

That worked for me, TY! Wayland looks great on my AMD video card. Going to try some games now to see if they still work.

Be sure to mark the solution once you confirm everything is working as expected.
