-If you run a NVidia GPU, you will need to use the "Nouveau" driver for testing, Since the proprietary NVidia driver does not provide Wayland support. (Though some things might work in some cases)+If you run a NVidia GPU, you might need to use the "Nouveau" driver for testing. If using the proprietary NVidia driver, try version ≥ 495 which supports [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mesa_(computer_graphics)#Generic_Buffer_Management|GBM]], however, it's not guaranteed everything will work smoothly.
  
-A wlroots compositor is almost a prerequisite for most core components (as well as panel plugins and some apps), at least to ensure that all features ported to Wayland are available. The default compositor is labwc, but wayfire is another wlroots compositor on which tests have generally been carried out.+Originally we relied on wlroots compositors such as labwc and wayfire, which should work fine with Xfce components, but nowadays xfwl4 is our target compositor.

 To start an Xfce session on Wayland, you can run ''startxfce4 %%--%%wayland'' from a tty, which will launch xfce4-session from labwc. If you want to use wayfire instead, you'll need to run ''startxfce4 %%--%%wayland wayfire'' and add this configuration first, as wayfire doesn't have a ''%%--%%startup'' option like labwc (see ''startxfce4 %%--%%help'' for details): To start an Xfce session on Wayland, you can run ''startxfce4 %%--%%wayland'' from a tty, which will launch xfce4-session from labwc.
