[Software] X11 or Wayland - KDE startup

#1 Post by urdrwho10 »

I notice that I can choose Wayland or X11. For curiosity I would like to know if standard protocol for KDE is to start Wayland or X11 at boot.
Second question is how can I choose which one I want to be default boot?

I don't have the Compositor start at boot and I have no screen tearing and things run well.

Sounds like Wayland to me :mrgreen:

Check

Code: Select all

echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE
You should be able to chooses between the sessions in the display manager. I don't use display managers so I can't be any more specific than that (sorry). I'm sure others here will know better than me in that respect.

This will allow you to set the desktop launched by the "Default X Session" option:

Code: Select all

# update-alternatives --config x-session-manager
But note this will only apply if there is no ~/.xsession file present.

You can choose the session on the login screen
or
go to Settings -> Startup and Shutdown -> Login Screen (SDDM) -> Advanced -> Automatically Log In
