Those both default to Wayland for boot them up to live CD and test away

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Thank you. This live USB defaulted to X11 for some reason, but I was able to change to Wayland after the session started.
It turns out Wayland doesn't support my touch/pen-screen: ""Unsupported platform detected. Currently only X11 is supported". So X11 it is.
is there some reasy why you can't use a live usb of a distribution that defaults to wayland?
Fedora for example
don't these distros package a Wayland session you can select at the greeter/ login window?
Yes, it turns out one can change session at login! Turns out Wayland doesn't support my tablet, so I'll stick with X11.
