Update instructions for latest version of Raspberry Pi OS #3896
Conversation
| For information about supported modes and the `mode` syntax, see the https://github.com/WayfireWM/wayfire-wiki/blob/master/Configuration.md#output-configuration[Wayfire documentation]. | ||

| Add the same configuration block to `/usr/share/greeter.ini` to configure the login screen resolution. | ||
| To set a custom resolution, use our Screen Configuration tool, `raindrop`. If your Raspberry Pi OS installation doesn't already include `raindrop` (for instance, if you're still using the previous Screen Configuration tool, `arandr`), you can download `raindrop` from `apt` or the Recommended Software GUI. |

I don't think that raindrop is in the Recommended Software GUI ?
| Switch between the X11 and Wayland backends, and choose a window manager. Since Raspberry Pi OS _Bookworm_, all Raspberry Pi models run Wayland using labwc by default. | ||
|
|
||
| NOTE: To use Wayland on Raspberry Pi models prior to Raspberry Pi 4, you must also add `wayland=on` to `/boot/firmware/cmdline.txt`. | ||
| NOTE: To use Wayland on Raspberry Pi models prior to Raspberry Pi 4 running a version of Raspberry Pi OS earlier than _Bookworm_, add `wayland=on` to `/boot/firmware/cmdline.txt`. |

This isn't right. It's "older releases of Bookworm" where you'd have needed to add this wayland=on, not versions before Bookworm. Might be best to just delete this NOTE entirely?

See above. Also, I never actually edited /boot/firmware/cmdline.txt myself (when I was testing labwc on older Pis) - I just used raspi-config and let that make any necessary changes for me 🙂

I guess there might be a W3 here too?

| * `W1`: use the Openbox window manager with X11 backend | ||
| * `W2`: use the wayfire window manager with Wayland backend | ||
| * `W3`: use the labwc window manager with Wayland backend |

We should probably mention that labwc is now the recommended option, and we don't expect to be making updates to X11 or wayfire in future?
|
The changes made here now seem to suggest that Bookworm has always supported wayland on labwc on models older than Pi 4, which isn't actually the case; and might be confusing for people still running older versions of Bookworm which they haven't updated yet? (e.g. if they're using a Pi in a project which isn't connected to the internet) 🤷♂️ |
