[SOLVED] How do I go about switching from X11 to Wayland? (also, should I?)
[SOLVED] How do I go about switching from X11 to Wayland? (also, should I?)
General information:
- I'm using EndeavourOS, with KDE Plasma. I am very happy with my setup as it is, but since Wayland is "the future" I'm thinking of getting a move on.
- It came default with just X11, no Wayland. I know KDE supports Wayland but have no idea how to switch.
- I play a lot of games, I read somewhere that Wayland has worse gaming performance. I don't know if true or not, though.
- ... I have an AMD GPU. I'm not enough of a masochist to try and use Linux with NVidia.
- ..... BUT I've been thinking of upgrading to an Intel Arc GPU in the nearish future.
Let me know if there is any, more important, specific info I should be giving.
EDIT: I have changed. ... I felt no difference, but I suppose that is the whole point. Thank you to everyone who answered.

Install Wayland and KDE support then switch on the login screen
pacman -Sy plasma-wayland-session
You can test Wayland support in x11 with
startplasma-wayland dolphin
