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!

    Ah that’s bad. I eventually managed to try out Wayland in the 24.04 live session, and it doesn’t support my touch/pen-screen: "“Unsupported platform detected. Currently only X11 is supported”. So I hope future versions will still offer X11 where Wayland can’t work yet. Otherwise the situation becomes like for Windows, that a new OS version means you have to update hardware too…
