Perhaps as far back as 6 months ago I was able to run Plasma and Enlightenment desktops in Wayland, starting them from sddm DM. A couple of months ago Wayland broke for me. It tries to start, then drops me back into the login screen. I haven't bothered to troubleshoot it, because the mechanism of providing me with a GUIfied desktop is less of an interest to me than being able to get a desktop in the first place. -- Regards, Mick
