    Yeah I tried Wayland like a few weeks ago and got the undefined variables I mentioned. Without those the vast majority of apps like Firefox, Steam, etc don’t work…
    But since you mentioned it I did give it another go just now and it’s up and running fine, the variables are there:

    echo $DISPLAY; echo $WAYLAND_DISPLAY
    :1
    wayland-0
    But this has been on again off again so it might stop working at some point. Only time will tell :)


  • Thanks!
    I grepped for kwin_wayland in ~/ and found a systemd override that was there to make the emacs daemon launch after plasma-kwin_wayland.service. I guess I had issues with the daemon not starting properly while I was trying to use Wayland. I removed the override and it fixed everything!

    Tl:dr: self-caused misconfiguration, but I didn’t find it without your help! Thanks!
