====== How to find out if I am using wayland or X11? ======
  * https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/202891/how-to-know-whether-wayland-or-x11-is-being-used

Find out the session ID
<sxh bash; gutter: false>
loginctl
</sxh>
<code>
SESSION  UID USER            SEAT  TTY
      4 1000 <YOURUSERNAME>  seat0 

1 sessions listed.
</code>

Session ID seems to be "4" in my case.

Display the the type of session
<sxh bash; gutter: false>
loginctl show-session <SESSION_ID> -p Type
</sxh>
<code>
Type=x11
</code>

Handy oneliner:
<sxh bash; gutter: false>
loginctl show-session $(loginctl | awk '/'"$USER"'/{print $1}') -p Type
</sxh>
