Thank you, it looks great.

Can you switch to a TTY? Try to press CTRL+ALT+F2 on the black screen and see if you can log in with your username and password, then run:

qtile start -b wayland

You need to install python-pywayland in order for this to work then.

Hi! After installing pip installing pywayland and pywlroots (installed these based on what the stdout told me), I get this in the terminal after typing qtile start -b wayland:

Qtile - ArchWiki

In order to run Qtile as a Wayland compositor you will need to install python-pywlroots.

Did you install python-pywlroots?

Hi! Yes I have.

Okay, you may also need python-xkbcommon according to this: Installation — Qtile 0.1.dev50+ge0b6b0e.d20231205 documentation

Have you checked to see if this binary is actually there or not?

ls /usr/bin/ | grep wayland

If not, you may need to find out where it is and make sure it is on your PATH, or set up a symlink to it.

Hi! Yes I already have that xkbcommon package installed. Here is my output for ls /usr/bin/ | grep wayland:

.rwxr-xr-x   43k root  1 Jul 17:50  wayland-scanner

I am not sure how to get xwayland. I checked the arch wiki and its confusing. Could you please show me step by step?

Thank you.
