 |
|
I've been logging in to my Gentoo system via the command line and starting KDE via startx since the dawn of time. Now that Plasma 6 supports Wayland, I would like to start experimenting with using it while preserving the X11 environment in case things don't work.
How would I go about starting Wayland instead of X11 with something like startx?
Is there a start-wayland equivalent?
What should I do to make sure all of Wayland is installed?
Are there +wayland use flags I would need? |

Where I have: | Code: | | exec /usr/bin/startx /usr/bin/dbus-launch --exit-with-x11 startplasma-x11 |
for X11, I have: | Code: | | exec /usr/bin/dbus-launch --exit-with-session startplasma-wayland |
for Wayland.
I have no extra USE flags or packages for Wayland - the support is part of KDE. Many KDE components depend on dev-libs/wayland, which I think is all that's needed, and therefore it gets installed with KDE.
See also the wiki entry on Wayland.
