Today was the first day I actually heard of Wayland, so the update broke my setup, which has been running for several years. After reading all the discussions I could find, I used raspi-config to turn on Wayland (which said it was experimental), and the MagicMirror started, but my keyboard no longer worked. I use a combination wireless mouse/keyboard on my Raspberry Pi. The mouse worked fine, but no keyboard. I couldn’t stop the MagicMirror, or make changes to my startup script. I dug up a wired keyboard and turned off Wayland, and added x11 to my startup script. Everything is working fine now. I am assuming this was an elaborate April Fools joke.
