Both of my Gnome/Arch laptops no longer boot into Wayland (lemmy.world)

However, if I log in and immediately log out, Wayland is available on the login screen and you log in to a Wayland session.

This is identical on both my laptops, they are very different in hardware and performance. This started happening after updates about 3 weeks ago.

I have looked at logs and I can see the subsystems trying Wayland and falling back to X but I can't see an obvious reason (probably my lack of experience at this).

Anyone else experienced similar?

Have you checked your gdm custom.conf

i did try to tweak that to force wayland to start on boot and UI just gets stuck on a blank screen!

Was there ever a kernel update for you

There's been several Linux package updates over the last few weeks. Not sure if they all update the kernel

Can you try an LTS kernel .
