Lubuntu 24.04 are using x11 or wayland?

As we wrote about back on 9 December 2023 (https://lubuntu.me/noble-alpha-featureset/) in the section titled “24.10 and Beyond: Wayland and Qt 6

Our goal is to completely switch Lubuntu to Wayland and Qt 6 by the release of 24.10.

Lubuntu 24.04 LTS as released (no backports available at this time) is an Xorg release.

The first link I provided said

This may mean providing an optional Wayland session for 24.04 LTS, just to “get the ball rolling,” but we are unsure exactly what this looks like yet. It will be optional for 24.04 LTS but default for 24.10.

but thats expected once packaged for oracular (22.10) and made available via backports for noble (24.04), alas we’re not there yet. We’re still working on it (you’ll note in the manifest a number of Wayland packages already present on a 24.04 install though)
