Backend hackery? You just install it and it works
Alright so after seeing your comment I decided to give it another try.
I'm running Plasma 5.27.7 which is what came when I installed when I grabbed EndeavourOS. But it doesn't come with the Wayland session included so I grabbed plasma-wayland-session from the AUR, And same issue as last time I can't launch it from the login screen.
I know people have gotten it working fine but on my hardware for whatever reason I've had little luck.
What display manager do you use? There's a very very short list of ones that support wayland sessions: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Wayland#Display_managers . And some of those don't display themselves using wayland, they can only launch sessions.
I'm using SDDM which I know supports lunching Wayland because I'm had it work in virtual machines before.
OK then
True.
