Perhaps as far back as 6 months ago I was able to run Plasma and Enlightenment |
| 31 |
desktops in Wayland, starting them from sddm DM. A couple of months ago |
| 32 |
Wayland broke for me. It tries to start, then drops me back into the login |
| 33 |
screen. I haven't bothered to troubleshoot it, because the mechanism of |
| 34 |
providing me with a GUIfied desktop is less of an interest to me than being |
| 35 |
able to get a desktop in the first place. |
