I have some issues since updating to Plasma 6, so I’m thinking of doing a fresh install today. Is it possible to install just Wayland files, no Xorg?

You could install it without a desktop and then manually install only the packages for Plasma with Wayland but idk if that’a really worth the effort
It would work, but you’d have to use a greeter other than sddm, since that depends on x11 whether you run it on Wayland or not.
Any chance you are just experiencing rough edges on the new release? Before you’d nuke and pave…
I just did that upgrade yesterday and so far smooth sailing, but I have what I perceive as one of the easier use cases. (Recent and intel-only hardware)
Edit - I also haven’t tried anything weird with it yet. Haven’t even tried multimonitor yet. Just basic Wayland Plasma session.
Perhaps, but I nuked nonetheless. I had issues with remnant files from past installs, so at least they’re fully gone for sure now. (I had nearly 100GB I removed manually, potentially more I missed).
There’s no feeling like a fresh install anyhow, that’s for sure. As long as you’re happy with the result. :)
EOS is KDE by default now and KDE is Wayland by default.
So, not only is it possible to have Wayland on EOS. It you have to go out of your way to avoid it.
