Does anyone know how to test a Wayland session with a Kubuntu 24.04 live USB? I’m testing it out now, but I see that it’s using an X11 session. I’d like to test how the laptop would work under Wayland instead, before installing Kubuntu or Ubuntu for good.

Some web search lead to this post, which gives quite involved instructions but it’s from 2020. Hopefully it’s more straightforward now?

Cheers!

      Thank you. This live USB defaulted to X11 for some reason, but I was able to change to Wayland after the session started.

      It turns out Wayland doesn’t support my touch/pen-screen: "“Unsupported platform detected. Currently only X11 is supported”. So X11 it is.

    don’t these distros package a Wayland session you can select at the greeter/ login window?

      Yes, it turns out one can change session at login! Turns out Wayland doesn’t support my tablet, so I’ll stick with X11.
