On Plasma 6.4 the wayland session will be the only one installed when the users does not manually specify kwin-x11.

With the recent split of kwin into kwin-wayland and kwin-x11, users running the old X11 session needs to manually install plasma-x11-session, or they will not be able to login. Currently pacman is not able to figure out your personal setup, and it wouldn&#x27;t be ok to install plasma-x11-session and kwin-x11 for every
one using Plasma.

### tldr: Install plasma-x11-session if you are still using x11
