How do I install wayland and use it?

Question

I was watching this video. How do I get Weston on Ubuntu to try it?

Where can I find other desktop environments that work with wayland - are there any wayland ports for it like GNOME and KDE?

Solution

For 18.04, Ubuntu has Wayland installed but not enabled by default.

To enable it follow the directions here 18.04: How to get Wayland back after upgrade to 18.04?

On the login screen, you should be able to select "Ubuntu on Wayland" by clicking on the settings icon, next to the login button.
