I just installed the lastest KDE Neon, running Plasma 5.27, and by default it’s using X11. I can’t see a way to select Wayland at log in, or otherwise?
TIA for help!
install plasma-wayland-session. Then you should be able to select wayland on login screen
I had searched for that package, and it’s not available.
sudo apt list plasma-wayland*
reveals only:
plasma-wayland-protocols
Sorry, my bad. On ubuntu base systems package name is actually plasma-workspace-wayland it seems
The package is actually plasma-workspace-wayland, and should come with neon by default.
You should just be able to click on the "Desktop Session label at the bottom left of the login screen to select a different choice.
If you are not seeing this, something is broken, somehow.
This IS the strangest thing. A few days of installing various versions of Plasma, including 2 installs of KDE Neon, updates, reboots, etc.
And while I’m 100% sure that menu option wasn’t available before, I see it now, and it’s working. And well, maybe I just missed it. (I’m fairly cognizant even though I 'm an old fart.)
Anyway, it’s obvious this forum works magic. 
Thanks for the quick responses!
