CachyOS runs under Wayland: is there a way that works to have it running under X11?
The reason I ask is because still quite a few app devs don’t seem to be in a hurry to issue Wayland versions.
Yes, we install the plasma-x11-session for non wayland supported cards.
If you want to install it manually, install “plasma-x11-session” also see archlinux news:Arch Linux - News: Plasma 6.4.0 will need manual intervention if you are on X11
Thanks for that. On the page you link to it only says “users running the old X11 session needs to manually install plasma-x11-session”.
So, please tell me how to install plasma-x11-session, or please provide a link.
sudo pacman -S plasma-x11-session
Danny Baron mentioned the presence of XWAyland in Cachy, which is confirmed when I typed yay -Ss xwayland.
So, is it necessary to install plasma-x11-session?
I thought you want to use x11? I do not really understand what you need right now.
kwin (the compositor of plasma) has been split in kwin (wayland) and “kwin-x11”. If you want to use a full X11 session, then you need to install the above mentioned package. If you want to use wayland, then just keep going.
xwayland is used to run applications, most times games, in an xorg window in wayland, since native wayland support in Proton is very bad.
Many thanks. I apologize for the confusion, which was due to the fact that I was not sure about the difference between Plasma-X11 and XWayland.
in short:
sudo pacman -S kwin-x11 plasma-x11-session
afterwards you’ll have the choice on the login screen on the lower left (at least on my pc).
