Budgie 24.10 Wayland?

Hi, I was a little confused by the README.

Does Budgie 24.10 default to Wayland?

Hi @fakebizprez!

No to X11.
To check, open the terminal (Ctrl Alt t) then copy and paste this line:

echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE

The version of Ubuntu Budgie in 25.10 available this coming October will be wayland only.

For 25.04 available in april we will have a PPA for intrepid testers and developers to use. More details shortly in a separate post.

Thank you.

To be honest, running multiple NVIDIA GPUs, I am having nothing but issues with Wayland. Doesn’t matter which distribution I use. I’m actually looking for a distro with X11, Tiling, newer version of the kernel. That is what led me here…

openSUSE Tumbleweed maybe?

PS: Another option is to have a look at the features of the distributions on DistroSea:

Awesome website I didn’t know existed. Thank you for this!
