[SOLVED] Reverting back to Wayland after ujust setup-virtualization
I set up virtualization and enabled VFIO, but later learned that it's difficult to GPU passthrough on my laptop. So I went and disabled VFIO using the ujust command, but every time I reboot/login, it starts in an X11 session rather than Wayland. I'd like to keep virt-manager/kvm/qemu etc and Wayland at the same time.

Maybe the trick was the full poweroff. All the other attempts were restarts

The X11 session rather than Wayland is an option that you choose at login, enabling virtualisation shouldn't change that at all. In your login screen, in the bottom left hand corner select "Plasma" instead of "Plasma (X11)" for KDE and bottom right hand corner in Gnome.
Note that if you have an Nvidia GPU might might have some issues such as flickering etc if you use Wayland until the Nvidia 555 drivers move to stable release
i don't get that bottom right hand corner button on the gnome login screen
That's really odd, are you perhaps using a custom login skin/theme? Where are you seeing that you are in an X11 session rather than Wayland?
i'm on bazzite-gnome-nvidia
no custom login skin, and i see it in settings, system details
do you not have a user password?
i do have a password
gear icon should be bottom right of the login screen after picking your user
one second
that is extremly weird
It's also weird that you have X11 available at all, you have an AMD GPU. What image are you using? could you please run
rpm-ostree status?amd igpu, nvidia dgpu
Ah ok, makes sense why you have X11 available but no clue why you cannot select Wayland. There was a ticket a while back where someone also couldn't select wayland due to bios setting of custom udev rule. Let me see if I can find it
Have a look as M2's answer in this ticket https://discord.com/channels/1072614816579063828/1237406854863130714/1238104694304280678 either way looks like your machine is falling back on to X11 for some reason
there isn't a no-wayland file in /run/gdm
