Kwin_wayland standalone

Help
1

i’m trying to recreate the setup i use to have with X11 using xinitrc as below which worked well with low resources

systemctl --user start pulseaudio.service &
/usr/bin/plasmashell --no-respawn &
/usr/bin/kwalletd5 &
/usr/lib/polkit-kde-authentication-agent-1 &
setxkbmap gb
exec kwin_x11 --replace ccp & wmpid=$!
wait $wmpid

as wayland doesn’t use xinitrc i’m having to use /usr/bin/startplasma-wayland, i’m unable to read the bin file to see what it executes i’m guessing it starts plasmashell and kwin_wayland among other things?

i’m looking for help to execute just plasmashell and kwin_wayland without startplasma-wayland, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Down this road lies madness; I suggest giving up, unfortunately. You’ll be chasing bugs due to missing system services forever.

If you do decide to proceed with this plan, please don’t submit any bug reports on bugs.kde.org.

lol thanks for the reply

i did kinda manage to get it tow work still using xinitrc but non of the applications would show up in the open with menu and plasmashell was killing my cpu.

out of interest what does the startplasma-wayland actually do, must fire up kwin and alike?
