It works here with Radeon graphics and Intel graphics (no Nvidia to try): dbus-run-session startplasma-wayland What works less satisfactorily or not at all on this laptop, is Ctrl+Alt+F2 or some other console and then returning to F1. The wayland desktop rendering is corrupted with horizontal tearing and flickering on the monitor. I can't see any menus to restart/logout. Sadly Ctrl+Alt+Backspace has no effect on it. If/when it locks completely the magic SysRq key combo does not work either. Due to muscle memory, dropping in a console is a regular occurrence with me, so I only launch wayland with sddm. Sessions started with sddm can be recovered, if I first return to F7 where sddm is running, then to F8 where the wayland session is.
