>> A future version of Tails will use Wayland instead of X.Org for graphics.
>> This will fix bugs and allow us to implement accessibility and security improvements.
>>
>> We need you to help us discover which computers don't work with Wayland.
>>
>> To do so:
>>
>> 1. Take a computer that works with current Tails.
>> 2. Download a USB image from https://nightly.tails.boum.org/build_Tails_ISO_12213-wayland-force-all-tests/lastSuccessful/archive/build-artifacts/ (that's the file whose name ends with `.img`).
>> 3. Install that USB image to a USB stick, with GNOME Disks or Etcher.
>> 4. Start the computer from that USB stick.
>> 5. If you see the graphical *Welcome Screen* appear, you can stop here. Else, please follow the next steps.
>> 6. Restart on another Linux system that works on this computer. For example, the current Tails release.
>> 7. In the *Welcome Screen*, set an Administration Password.
>> 8. Run these commands in a Terminal:
>>     ```
>>     sudo dmidecode -s system-manufacturer
>>     sudo dmidecode -s system-product-name
>>     sudo dmidecode -s system-version
>>     lspci -nn
>>     ```
>> 9. Copy the output of these commands and send it to us: tails-testers@???. Also describe the symptoms you observed at step 5.

>>
>> Thanks a lot!
