Plasma-Wayland-Session (Not Found)

I have returned to Manjaro after playing with several linux distributions. After a successful installation I wanted to instal Wayland. However “plasma-wayland-session” cannot be found.
How can I install Wayland?

Did you install it? Or plasma-workspace, rather, which provides it?

Didn’t know about plasma-workspace, will install that.
I’ve been away for quite sometimes, happy to be back.
Thanks

That is the default now, not necessary to install anything extra is you use Plasma 6. Check if you’re running Wayland/X11 with:

echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE

Tempest in a teapot :face_with_hand_over_mouth:
Checked for plasma-workspace (it is installed), all I had to do was simply select wayland on the login screen.
Sorry to have rattled the boat for no reason.
