Even though I don’t have much interest in the Steam Deck itself, seeing the quick progress of Proton and games I regularly play working on the Deck is what got me to seriously consider Linux and finally switch my desktop over.

Been daily driving EndeavourOS for over a month now and no regrets.


I’m using SDDM which I know supports lunching Wayland because I’m had it work in virtual machines before.


Alright so after seeing your comment I decided to give it another try.

I’m running Plasma 5.27.7 which is what came when I installed when I grabbed EndeavourOS. But it doesn’t come with the Wayland session included so I grabbed plasma-wayland-session from the AUR, And same issue as last time I can’t launch it from the login screen.

I know people have gotten it working fine but on my hardware for whatever reason I’ve had little luck.


Yeah Wayland support apparently doesn’t come shipped with the KDE install on EndeavourOS, Last time to tried to get it running was on an older version of Ubuntu a few months back.

I’ll install it and try it out now tho thanks.


When I tried Wayland on Gnome using my RTX3080 it either wouldn’t load into desktop or if I did it would lead to a bunch of visual glitches.

Haven’t tried it through KDE yet tho as it requires some backend hackery to even allow you enable Wayland with an Nvidia card.

Edit: So some people have been able to get Wayland working on Nvidia fine so it’s worth trying out yourself, Tho I’ve personally not had any luck.
