Wayland on XFCE 25.04

Pre-Release Discussion
1

Is this how Wayland is supposed to show on XFCE?

inxi -Gax|grep Display
  Display: unspecified server: X.Org v: 21.1.14 with: Xwayland v: 24.1.4

Or

 echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE
tty

Dang I forgot to show this:

cat /usr/share/wayland-sessions/xfce-wayland.desktop  | grep Exec
Exec=startxfce4 --wayland

I know it’s labeled experimental, and perhaps I’m lacking needed information.
I’ve also removed nVidia Driver.

Ok I solved this one, needed to add wayfire to “/usr/share/wayland-sessions/xfce-wayland.desktop”

cat /usr/share/wayland-sessions/xfce-wayland.desktop  | grep Exec
Exec=startxfce4 --wayland wayfire

All Good.

└─> echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE
wayland
┌───────────────────>
│~ 
└─> inxi -G|grep Display
  Display: wayland server: X.Org v: 24.1.4 with: Xwayland v: 24.1.4

I also configured my “~/.config/wayfire.ini” It’s rather long so if interested let me know. (Credit to ToZ)

Please Note this is very very early, so expect some papercuts. :slight_smile:

Kudos to the XFCE Team>>> :+1:

For the record nVidia also works on wayland
