Enabling X11 still results in Wayland

Help
1

Not sure why, and I’ve read a few other posts here, but I have (seemingly) everything I should to enable X11 but for some reason I’m still on Wayland.

# Enable the X11 windowing system.
  services.xserver.enable = true;

  # Enable the GNOME Desktop Environment.
  services.xserver.displayManager.gdm.enable = true;
  services.xserver.desktopManager.gnome.enable = true;

  # Configure keymap in X11
  services.xserver = {
    layout = "us";
    xkbVariant = "";
  };

  xdg = {
    portal = {
      enable = true;
    };
  };

services.xserver.enable makes X server available (among other things) but the choice of what display server is actually used is up to the display server (GDM in your case). Since you are enabling the GNOME module so you will have gnome and gnome-xorg sessions and GDM will default to the former.

You can change the session in the cog wheel menu on the login screen. Or declaratively preselecting it using services.xserver.displayManager.defaultSession option.

Thanks for the help (:
