On what distro?
- OtomotO 6y agoI assumed they meant they used gnome 3+ or kde plasma (or another de) where it's just another option on the login screen. For i3 -> sway it's not as easy but also not very complicated, nor time-consuming
- MuffinFlavored 6y agowhen you install GNOME 3 these days, does it install both Xorg + Wayland packages, and then at runtime you pick which you want? I would have guessed the GDM/login manager is X11/xorg?
- mappu 6y agoI'm on SDDM, which is still X - getting itself converted to Wayland is https://github.com/sddm/sddm/pull/1367 https://github.com/sddm/sddm/pull/1367 .
- JeremyNT 6y agoThis is the experience on Arch Linux if you use intel graphics, install gnome and gdm, and then start gdm. For the open source Radeon drivers you have to specifically enable early kms, but I imagine that's done for you with most distributions. Really, this stuff just works if your hardware is well supported (i.e. - not nvidia).
