From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I have some issues since updating to Plasma 6, so I'm thinking of doing a fresh install today. Is it possible to install just Wayland files, no Xorg?

You could install it without a desktop and then manually install only the packages for Plasma with Wayland but idk if that'a really worth the effort

It would work, but you'd have to use a greeter other than sddm, since that depends on x11 whether you run it on Wayland or not.
