[edit] Introduction
Some basic instructions for trying out Wayland on Nemo on N9/N950. These instructions will get simpler over time. If you need help with it, ask me (w00t) on IRC.
This should be obvious, but use these instructions with care. They can get you to a point where your UI is not bootable very easily. Don't do this unless you know what you're doing and what the risks are.

first things first, if you had it installed before:
ssu rr wayland ssu ur
then:
