This PR changes the default `start` and `start:dev` scripts to use Wayland instead of X11. I think after three years, it's time to take this step. ### Background Since Raspberry Pi OS Bookworm (2023), Wayland is the default display server. As most MagicMirror installations run on Raspberry Pi, this change aligns with what new users already have installed. ### Benefits Especially for new users (which install the OS with Wayland) it's easier - they can simply run `npm start` without needing to understand display server differences or manually switch scripts. And for projects in general it's better to rely on modern defaults than on legacy. ### Breaking Changes **None** - X11 support is maintained. Users who really use and need X11 can use `node --run start:x11`.
