I’m fairly new to Linux so be gentle - I’ve spent some time poking around trying to figure this out before posting but apologies if the answer is obvious.
Basically, the title says it all, I boot CachyOS live from USB and it loads a crisp, snappy OS that recognises my display and has the correct resolution selected and looks slick. I install CachyOS and it no longer recognises the display and gives me a single resolution option that means everything is twice the size and looks awful. I wish there was an option to just install the live configuration and add whatever I need as I go.
Anywho, I compared the console of each and I can see the live boot uses x11 and the install uses Wayland. I tried to then install the plasma-x11-session package multiple ways but every time it attempts to connect the returns a 404 error.
Is there an easy way to get the existing Wayland setup to recognise my LEN D32q-20B monitor and provide me with the 2560x1440 resolution option?
Alternatively, if the answer to the above is no, or the solution is sub-optimal, is running x11 the answer? and if so, how do I retrieve / install plasma-x11-session?
I’ve included some screenshots for reference, thanks legends!
Ok apologies for being such a newbie. Logged in with X11, made sure I am running Nvidia up-to-date. Still not recognising the display and resolution options as per the screenshot above. I fail to understand why the live boot is able to recognise the display but the installed version cannot?, possibly beside the point as I would ideally like to get this running inside Wayland. Any help or pointing me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated thanks.
as I understand you’re able to run a x-session and a wayland-session,
selectable in login-screen?
and both sessions don’t offer a 2560x1440 resolution?
