How to re-enable wayland in Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
I recently experimented with i3 (sudo apt install i3 -> reboot -> select i3 from login screen cog) and decided to go back to gnome3 with wayland. However upon removing i3 it appears that the default login screen no longer shows the option to start gnome wayland session. The reason for wanting to use wayland is easy out of the box support for 144hz screen and having no issues with it so far. Login screen does not show option "Gnome on wayland" as previously. I would like to have it the way it used to be: input password and enjoy 18.04 LTS with gnome 3 on wayland with 144hz enabled. I have set WaylandEnable = true in /etc/gdm3/custom.conf and restarted multiple times to no luck. Heres a bit of info:
OS: Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS x86_64
Kernel: 4.20.0-042000-generic
Shell: bash 4.4.19
Resolution: 2560x1440
DE: GNOME 3.28.3
WM: GNOME Shell
Terminal: gnome-terminal
CPU: Intel i7-4790K (8) @ 4.500GHz
GPU: AMD Hawaii XT
Memory: 1077MiB / 32107MiB
Thanks in advance for help!
