Step-by-Step Installation Guide

1. Enable Wayland

1. Edit the GDM configuration file:
   Open the file using Nano:

sudo nano /etc/gdm3/custom.conf

1. Uncomment the Wayland line:
   Locate the line: #WaylandEnable=false and ensure it is commented out (with the # in front) so Wayland is enabled.
   
   If it’s set as: #WaylandEnable=false change it to: WaylandEnable=true
2. Save and exit Nano:
   Press Ctrl+S to save, then Ctrl+X to exit.
3. Restart GDM (or reboot) to apply changes:

sudo systemctl restart gdm3

1. Verify Wayland is active:
   After logging back in, run:

echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE

1. The output should be: wayland
