For some reason my Fedora 25 FRESH install is not using wayland by default. I know this because of$: loginctl show-session 3 -p TypeType=x11If I was using Wayland by default that should say wayland or weston. I'm very confused why this fresh install of fedora 25 is not sporting wayland by default. I looked over the arch wiki briefly, and tried to test run wayland by issuing$: westonAlso, I have rebooted fedora to multiuser.target, to get just a command line to manually launch a dbus-run-session for wayland, and this is the output:$: dbus-run-session -- gnome-shell --display-server --wayland(gnome-shell:1372): mutter-WARNING **: Can't initialize KMS backend: could not find drm kms deviceThen I tried:$: startxAnd my standard gnome desktop popped up no problem. I'm seriously wondering if fedora 25 live installer ever installed wayland to begin with?After looking for the wayland config file weston.ini, I cannot find it in ~/.config/ where it's supposed to be.System info:$:uname -aLinux sark 4.8.10-300.fc25.x86_64 #1 SMP Mon Nov 21 18:49:16 UTC 2016 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/LinuxI have done a full system update on first login with $: sudo dnf updateAlso went through the process of using the nvidia drivers for my graphics card; GTX 950Not using the default pre-my-move-to-nvidia-driver driver :PEDIT:After investigating onto my laptop, my Laptop reports that it is using wayland:$: loginctl show-session 2 -p TypeType=waylandThis laptop was a fedora24 upgrade to fedora25, not a fresh install of fedora 25Laptop info:$: uname -aLinux mcp 4.8.10-300.fc25.x86_64 #1 SMP Mon Nov 21 18:59:16 UTC 2016 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Fedora 25 is NOT using wayland by default!

Nvidia does not yet support Wayland, so Fedora 25 falls back to X11. From the Nvidia forum I see someone has used packages from the in-development Fedora 26 plus some patches to get it working, but notes I have tested it with local builds and it runs like crap, personally I wouldn't bother trying it in F25.Hopefully this will be resolved for F26. In the meantime, I'm at least glad that the X11 fallback worked nicely and transparently.
