I now use kdm as my display manager, gdm had issues with wayland, and it shows me 3
gnome options (I did have one of these removed by disabling wayland as specified in
a previous thread, but a subsequent update seems to have put it back again), which
indicate that in your case you potentially are using wayland and not Xorg. The 3
options I have are "Gnome", "Gnome Classic" and "Gnome on
Xorg", of which the first
is wayland. I disabled wayland originally because it had huge performance issues
with gdm and gnome. I am using kde as it still only runs under Xorg, there is no
implementation for Wayland yet.
You are incorrect about KDE not supporting wayland. It isn't the default and it
isn't installed by default but you can get wayland support in KDE by installing
"plasma-workspace-wayland". I've not tried it recently, but when I did I
had a
sluggish system.
