To use KWin with Wayland, you'll need to ensure that your system supports it and that you have the necessary packages installed. Here's a basic guide to get you started:
1. **Install KDE Plasma:**
If you haven't already, install KDE Plasma on your system. The package name might vary depending on your Linux distribution. For example, on Ubuntu, you can use:
```sh
sudo apt install kde-plasma-desktop
```
On Fedora:
```sh
sudo dnf install @kde-desktop
```
2. **Install Wayland Packages:**
Make sure you have the Wayland packages installed. Again, the package names can vary, but generally, you can use:
```sh
sudo apt install plasma-workspace-wayland
```
On Fedora, Wayland support is typically included with the KDE Plasma packages.
3. **Select Wayland Session:**
Log out of your current session. On the login screen, look for a session option menu (often a gear icon or similar). Select "Plasma (Wayland)" from the list.
4. **Log In:**
Enter your credentials and log in. You should now be running KDE Plasma on Wayland.
5. **Verify:**
To confirm that you're using Wayland, you can open a terminal and run:
```sh
echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE
```
It should return `wayland`.
If you encounter any issues, ensure your graphics drivers are up to date and that your hardware supports Wayland. Some older systems might have better support with X11.
