I can't start the wayland session from sddm. maybe someone has encountered such a problem?I tried changing the SessionCommand="startplasma-wayland.sh" in smb.config.
the script startplasma-wayland.sh under an unprivileged user works well.

probably won't be able to force sddm to work through wayland. but can run it.
 
lightdm with slick and gtk greeter don't launch wayland sessions on my system however Wayfire will launch with sddm. Not sure what's up with that. Back on RC5 of 13.2 Gnome Wayland was working just fine. Then 13.2 dropped and I've not been able to get gnome wayland going since. lol Wayfire continues to work. Though I really would like to be able to use networkmgr with wayfire. That's one thing the keeps me from using Wayfire on my laptop.
 
sddm works perfectly fine with Wayland. I'm running sddm+labwc right now.

Well, I've only managed to confuse myself now. haha I hadn't really given much effort into wayland. I went to the handbook and installed ly as instructed. Then I tried launching LXqt wayland and selected labwc as the compositor but it looked a bit off. So then I logged into XFCE wayland but it's using labwc and right clicking brings up options for LXqt settings...I think I need to remove all my window manager stuff from this system and start over. I've made a big mess lol
 
Yeah, I'm running XFCE with wayland. Works pretty well. I had issues with everything else and just gave up. Actually, I take that back. Hyprland works very well but I don't intend to spend any time with modding a config file. lol
 
Strange, i've tried Labwc, wayfire, plasma-wayland with SDDM they don't work.
I have a Ryzen 7 5700 workstation with DRM-515-KMOD and AMDGPU driver.
