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.

How can I switch back to wayland on Manjaro GNOME? (lemm.ee)

I am using Manjaro GNOME. I wanted to use automatic1111, but it wasn't recognising my graphics card (NVIDIA 1660 ti) and wasn't proceeding to the next stage of installation (the terminal kept crashing when it got to a certain point), so Bing said that switching from wayland to x11 might fix it. I changed the /etc/gdm/custom.conf file to

# GDM configuration storage

[daemon]
AutomaticLoginEnable=False
# Uncomment the line below to force the login screen to use Xorg
WaylandEnable=false

[security]

[xdmcp]

[chooser]

[debug]
# Uncomment the line below to turn on debugging
#Enable=true

and ran sudo systemctl restart gdm

When I did that, automatic1111 started working, in a sense (it still wouldn't detect the models or loras I'd put in the models folder), but other stuff broke, in that swiping with three fingers no longer switched workspaces, the Ctrl-C Ctrl-V shortcuts stopped working, and Blender would crash upon opening. For those reasons, I wanted to switch back to wayland from x11, or even getting those features working with x11, I didn't mind, but the former seemed easier.

I re-commented the line in the above file and ran sudo systemctl restart gdm again, but running echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE returned x11 rather than wayland.

Can you please help, if you can, with my predicament?
