[Solved] Cannot switch to Wayland even though I'm running Xwayland.

[bendipa1]

As title says I don't appear to have a means of switching to Wayland. I've read that the way this is done is on the SDDM login page there is an option to switch there, but I've never seen this option on my login screen. Here is an extract of my system details.

$ inxi -Fxz

Finally sorted this. I needed

plasma-workspace-wayland

to be installed. inxi now showing:

On the bottom-left of your login screen, you should see it say "Plasma X11 session" or something similar. Click on it.
