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?

    I have not experienced this and no direct solution. You should probably check your logs to see what’s wrong. So on boot, try to log in into Wayland, then open up a shell and run these to see which errors pop up.

    journalctl -b | grep wayland
journalctl -b | grep gnome
journalctl -b | grep gdm
# and for more general errors
journalctl -b -p 3

    You might also want to check the book on Wayland.

    Yes, that happens a lot after updates to the nvidia packages. If you have nvidia GPUs, log in directly on a tty without a GUI session and roll them back to the version you had before.
