How to start GNOME Wayland session from command line/tty? [closed]
XDG_SESSION_TYPE=wayland dbus-run-session gnome-session
to force firefox and QT applications as well to wayland, in 2019-12-31 they do not respect XDG_SESSION_TYPE=wayland:
MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 QT_QPA_PLATFORM=wayland XDG_SESSION_TYPE=wayland dbus-run-session gnome-session
if it should log out the command line session after pressing "logout" in the gnome GUI, add an exec:XDG_SESSION_TYPE=wayland exec dbus-run-session gnome-session

gnome-session --session gnome-waylandSource:
