Hey all, I'm trying to start a wayland compositor (I tried sway and Hyprland) while X11 is still running in another virtual terminal. Doing this causes both sway and hyprland to fail
<latex>
But why?
<latex>
Because running two X11 sessions is 100% supported and working
<latex>
So why does the same not apply to wayland?
<latex>
And I don't want to shut down this X11 session, because there exists software out there that is a GUI but shouldn't be, and if I shut down my session, it'll take that software with it
<latex>
And that might make some of my friends angry
<kennylevinsen>
latex: nothing wrong with running multiple sessions. Only thing that gets a but wonky is dbus, just the same as under X

if you want help running sway, ask in #sway on libera chat. For hyprland, I think it's discord

What is discussed here is protocol development and implementation work - Wayland is a protocol spec like HTTP, not a program you run
