Thanks Ed, when I had the performance issues with Gdm and Gnome in Wayland, and I queried why Gnome had them but KDE didn't, and why I didn't have the same menu entries for KDE that are provided for Gnome, I was told that Wayland had only been implemented for Gnome. regards, Steve ___ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org ___ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org

Do you know how to switch to Wayland? gnome autodetects if your system supports wayland or not. I don't think there's a way to manually override that. The real question: why does that detection fail in your case?

Once you select the user to log in as there's a dropdown menu (I forget what it's called I'm at work) that lets you select your session type (Gnome/Wayland or Gnome/Xorg) or whatever desktop managers you have installed.
