SUMMARY kinfocenter show graphics display as X11, even tough it seems I am on wayland STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. run kinfo in terminal and note output shows Graphics platform: X11 2. run env | grep -E -i 'x11|xorg|wayland' and note output 3. OBSERVED RESULT See kinfo report under SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS running "env | grep -E -i 'x11|xorg|wayland'" outputs: WAYLAND_DISPLAY=wayland-0 QT_WAYLAND_RECONNECT=1 EXPECTED RESULT First, I expect to be on Wayland not X11. In the login screen there are two choices at the bottom left corner: Plasma and Plasma X11. I choose Plasma and expect to be on wayland. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS From kinfo in terminal: Operating System: Fedora Linux 41 KDE Plasma Version: 6.2.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.9.0 Qt Version: 6.8.1 Kernel Version: 6.12.4-200.fc41.x86_64 (64-bit) Graphics Platform: X11 Processors: 32 × AMD Ryzen 9 5950X 16-Core Processor Memory: 125.7 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: AMD Radeon RX 550 / 550 Series ADDITIONAL INFORMATION This system was newly installed from KDE live image as Feroda 39 or 40, both of which had wayland available. I did't try to use wayland exclusively until Fedora 41. Now I am not sure I am even on wayland, but I suspect the env call tells the true story.
Note that kinfocenter GUI also shows graphic platform as X11
XDG_SESSION_TYPE is what the tool follows, if that's not wayland then your system is misconfigured.
echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE returns tty
echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE returns tty in a konsole session.
If my system is mis-configured, can you provide clues to help me figure out how it is misconfigured, and what to do about it? Keep in mind, this system was a fresh install to Fedora 39 or 40 and wayland worked then, I only saw this issue after upgrading inplace to Fedora 41.
